Sixpence None the Richer breaking up... (July 2008 - Back together!)
At least according to this report:
http://www.cmcentral.com/news/1905.html
For someone that's followed the band for the last 9 years (before Kiss Me made them famous), this kinda sucks. At least we get one more album - hopefully something more along the lines of the REX days.
EDIT: Nevermind. Here's more info:

Sixpence None the Richer Breaking Up?
The March issue of CCM Magazine is reporting that the multiple Dove Award winning, Grammy nominated group, Sixpence None the Richer, is calling it quits. In a published letter from founding member Matt Slocum, the group says that after ten years they are closing their doors. They talk about their experiences, discuss future plans (including what will probably be their final album from Word Records) and, thank everyone for their support over the years.
More on this story as it develops. For the full scoop pick up the March 2004 issue of CCM Magazine.

That's a little surprising... I'm sure Leigh will end up recording at least solo in the future. She could get her hubby to help. At least they left us with 3 very good recordings (wasn't crazy about their debut "Fatherless....")

While I can't say that I was a fan of Sixpence, I can feel your pain. I know how it feels to almost religiously follow a band that goes from fame to relative obscurity, I'm a Smashing Pumpkins fan.

But yeah, I get ya. Smashing Pumpkins was a band I listened to for years too.

This sucks. I absolutely love their self-titled album. Divine Discontent is still on my very large listening pile.
I'm not really in tune with the CCM community. What's its reaction to Sixpence's version of "There She Goes" being used in a birth control pill commercial?

And in a surprise, the core members of Sixpence None the Richer, Matt and Leigh, are back together writing music. They have a new EP that people can get for free from Noisetrade. They are releasing a Christmas album later this year and a new album sometime in 2009.

Wow this is great news. I am as far from being a "Christian" as you can get so they didn't appeal to me in that sense. However, I love Slocums' songwriting/guitar playing combined with Leigh's angelic voice. I thought that Divine Discontent was by far their strongest album, despite being a commercial flop, and was very sad that they broke up after that. I used the song "A Million Parachutes" for a family reunion video I made and it made everyone cry who watched/heard it. Leighs' solo album is pretty good, as is the project she did with Fauxliage. Far too many people think this band was all "Kiss Me", which I can understand because of all the airplay it got. But when you delve deeper you can definately gain an appreciation for their music like I did.

Yep, I had the self-titled album when it came out. I didn't really like it. I don't even remember why, but I remember listening to it a few times and getting rid of it.
