Sponge is a post-grunge band from Detroit, Michigan 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[1] but have since switched to other labels to record various albums.
The band recruited Mike Cross’ brother, Tim Cross, on the bass and Jimmy Paluzzi on drums. 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. The two biggest singles from that album were “Plowed” and “Molly (Sixteen Candles)” but by the end of 1994 Charlie Grover replaced drummer Paluzzi. Their follow-up album was called Wax Ecstatic; the track “Have You Seen Mary” was included in the Kevin Smith film Chasing Amy.

On June 28, 1996, Sponge was the opening act on the first night of the Kiss reunion tour. The band had been tapped a few weeks earlier to replace the Stone Temple Pilots who had to bow out of the opening spot due to Scott Weiland’s drug problems. The show was one of the last concerts held at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.


New Pop Sunday, on Beyond Records, was a departure from the grittier sound of the first two albums, featuring songs that were unmistakably pop rock in nature. The band’s popularity waned sharply during this period. The only single, “Live Here Without You”, was nominated for the Outstanding National Single award by the Detroit Music Awards in 2000.

In 2001, Dombroski joined the Seattle side project Spys4Darwin, which recorded one EP and worked together into the following year. During that time, the Cross brothers and Charlie Grover left Sponge, and the remaining members (Mazzola and Dombroski) recruited drummer Billy Adams, guitarist Kurt Marschke and bassist Tim Krukowski.
