DETROIT ROCKERS SPONGE HOST “PLOWED PUB CRAWL” BENEFITING DETROIT FIREFIGHTERS ON NOVEMBER 5th, 2010

 Band Will Party with Fans; Perform Live at Five Venues for Charity 

  Sponge invites music fans to join them for their first annual “Plowed Pub Crawl” on Friday November 5, 2010.  In the spirit of Sponge’s hit song “Plowed,” fans will travel (and party!) with the band on buses to five area night clubs spanning Hamtramck to Mt. Clemens from 7 pm – 2 am. When the bus rolls in, fans will walk in with Sponge - where they’ll enjoy a rocking live set before heading to the next participating venue! 

  Advance ticket purchase is required to reserve a seat on the bus. Award winning eco-conscious company The Night Move is providing transportation.  Tickets are $40 and include admission and transportation to each venue.  Plowed Pub Crawlers must be ages 21 and up, and are responsible for the purchase of their own beverages at the pubs.  Tickets are available for purchase online only at Spongepubcrawl.com.

100% of the profits from Sponge’s Plowed Pub Crawl benefit local charity Detroit F.I.R.E. – Firefighters Injured Relief Effort, assisting critically injured firefighters in Detroit. 

 

  Hailing from Detroit, Sponge first gained widespread notoriety with their debut album "Rotting Piñata."  Hits like "Plowed" and "Molly" (16 Candles) fueled massive airplay on radio stations from coast to coast and were in heavy rotation on MTV. 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 are now touring in support of their new EP – featuring the single “Destroy the Boy,” currently available on Itunes and at shows. A mainstay on commercial rock radio, Sponge continues to stand out as one of rock’s most charismatic live acts, with lead singer Vinnie Dombroski's powerful voice, heart-on-his- sleeve lyrics and full throttle stage presence captivating audiences the world over.  Dombroski was recently spotlighted on MTV.com's newsroom as their #1 choice to replace Bret Michaels on NBC’s hit show “Celebrity Apprentice!”

Don’t miss an unforgettable night of partying with (and like!) rock stars to benefit Detroit F.I.R.E!
