Candlebox - Can't Quit You Tour, Fall 2026

Emerging from Seattle’s burgeoning mid-1990s grunge scene, Candlebox quickly found mainstream success with their deep, lyrically-driven melodies and big radio hooks. Power anthems like “Far Behind” and “You,” from their debut, self-titled album exploded onto the charts propelling the album to sell more than four million copies worldwide.

Blazing full steam ahead with new U.S. and international tour dates and an upcoming release on the horizon, these iconic rockers have no plans of slowing down any time soon. And to the legions of fans who have followed their long and illustrious career, that’s music to their ears.

Sponge is an American alternative rock band formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1992 by vocalist Vinnie Dombroski, guitarists Mike Cross and Joey Mazzola, bassist Tim Cross, and drummer Jimmy Paluzzi.

After shopping demos as the newly formed quintet, the song "Neenah Menasha" caught the ears of A&R person Pablo Mathiason, and the band signed with The Work Group (a Columbia Records subsidiary) in the fall of 1993. The following year, Sponge released the now-iconic, platinum-selling debut album, "Rotting Piñata," to global critical and commercial success.

After two Top 10 hit singles, several tours, and live television performances, including The Jon Stewart Show and Late Night with David Letterman, Sponge followed up their debut with 1996's "Wax Ecstatic." This sophomore effort garnered a "Song of the Year" nomination from Rolling Stone magazine for the title track, "Wax Ecstatic." The album also yielded two additional Top 10 hit singles and featured a guest vocal appearance from Richard Butler of the Psychedelic Furs on the song "I Am Anastasia."

Since then, Sponge has continued to release new music and maintain a near-constant touring schedule to the pleasure of their legion of loyal followers.

Though continually led by Vinnie Dombroski, Sponge's lead singer and chief songwriter, the band has seen a few lineup changes over the course of its 30+ year career. Sponge currently features Andy Patalan (guitar, vocals) and his brother Tim Patalan (bass). The Patalan brothers were a natural addition to the band, having previously engineered and produced the first three Sponge records at their studio, The Loft, in Saline, Michigan. The brothers are joined by Kyle Neely (guitar) and recent addition, former Taproot drummer Dave Coughlin.

Sponge's discography includes nine studio albums, four live albums, and seven charting singles, four of which have reached Billboard magazine's Top 10. The band has also been featured on several compilation albums and movie soundtracks over their decades-long career.

They are best known for their prominent 1994 hit single "Plowed" (#5 on the Billboard Alternative Rock chart), the 1995 hit "Molly (16 Candles)" (#3 on the Billboard Alternative Rock chart), the 1996 hit "Wax Ecstatic" (#10 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart), and the 1997 hit "Have You Seen Mary" (#7 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart).

Sponge is busy supporting its latest release and shows no sign of stopping for the foreseeable future. Proudly representing the city of Detroit, Sponge has earned its well-deserved place as part of rock-and-roll's lengthy musical history.
