Hits like “Plowed” and “Molly (16 Candles)“ fueled massive airplay on radio stations from coast to coast and were in heavy rotation on MTV in the late 90’s. After “Rotting Piñata” went Gold, the band toured internationally, and followed up with the critically lauded CD “Wax Ecstatic,” garnering additional hits “Wax Ecstatic” and “Have You Seen Mary?”

Dedicated road warriors, Sponge continue to tour the country, wowing audiences with their no holds barred live performances.
