Spongehead
Biography
Spongehead, a guitar-sax-drums trio, crafted a loose fusion of blues, funk and jazz that often resembled Pere Ubu's abstract pop-art on the tentative Potted Meat Spread (1989) and the more mature Legitimate Beef (1990). Dave Henderson's tenor sax and Doug Henderson's atonal guitar worked wonders on Curb Your Dogma (1993), an emotional as well as technical miracle that ran the gamut from expressionist psychodramas to rowdy pow-wows. And Infinite Baffle (1996) even applied the group's recipe to roots-rock with boogie overtones a` la ZZ Top.
