Sponge & Spacehog Announce Co-Bill Tour

Sponge and Spacehog are wrapping up 2013 by joining forces for a co-headline tour in December. But first Sponge needs your help thinking up the perfect costume for the third annual costume party and concert series Rock-O-Ween.

“Sponge costume ideas? We need some ideas…” the Detroit-based alternative rock band recently tweeted. Rock-O-Ween is set for Oct. 19 at Raks in Jackson, Mich., with special guests Kaleido, Darling Down, Kung Fu Diesel, Red Stone Souls and Oeno.
