Hailing from Detroit, Sponge gained widespread notoriety with their debut album “Rotting Piñata,” released in August 1994.  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?”

Sponge will be unleashing their newest release “Rotting Alive,” a live, fan-funded CD featuring the tracks from their break through CD “Rotting Piñata” in its entirety. “This tour is a celebration of the music from our first record. It’s been 20 years – who would have thought?!” explained Sponge’s lead singer Vinnie Dombroski.  In addition to tracks from “Rotting Piñata,” Sponge will be performing deep cuts from their extensive catalog as well as fan favorites.

Both “Plowed” and “Molly” hit #5 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Charts, catapulting “Rotting Piñata” to Gold, and ultimately Platinum status.
Leaving Springfield – (Set time: 8:00 PM)

Leaving Springfield

Born in the buckle of the ‘Bible-belt’ and now calling ‘Sin City’ their home, Leaving Springfield is a band that draws comparisons to Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, and Social Distortion.
Proudly wearing their influences on their sleeves, Leaving Springfield brings a sonic wall of big drums, loud guitars, and lyrics that are tormented, twisted, and usually with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
With three EP’s and two full-length CD’s released, (a third full-length CD will be release in Spring of 2014) in the short span of seven years, Matt Norcross (drums, keyboards, vocals) and Brent ‘BK’ Kessler (guitar, bass, vocals) have established themselves as a songwriting tour-de-force, and their live performances will leave you wondering how two people can make that much sound.
