Sponge

Sponge is a Detroit, Michigan, post-grunge band formed in 1991 by Vinnie Dombroski, Mike Cross, and Joey Mazzola — all formerly of hard-rock band Loudhouse.
Sponge was signed to Sony Records in 1993 but have since switched to other labels to record various albums.
The band's debut album, Rotting Piñata, was a major hit, received heavy play on radio and MTV, and was certified gold by the RIAA.
On June 28, 1996, Sponge was the opening act on the first night of the Kiss reunion tour.
In 2001, Dombroski joined the Seattle side project Spys4Darwin, which recorded one EP and worked together into the following year.
