Sponge X and Y
Formed during a gin-fuelled drinking session. Application of an ethos led to a year of apathy. Subsequent electronics-lust induced acquisitions, resulting in a frenzy of activity and a diet of simple carbs. The Sponge X & Y of yesteryear is long gone, replaced by an industrious creative force, pleasuring itself with sonic fingers. Artistic differences can produce a unique sonic pallette, though speed of output often suffers. Next- who can tell? The project continues.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Sponge X & Y are currently working on a spectacular stage show, although dates have yet to be finalised.
