Sixpence None the Richer reuniting
Sixpence None the Richer, a band unfortunately known more for their hit song "Kiss Me" and that annoying cover of "There She Goes" than anything else, may just have a chance to be recast as more than a one-hit wonder after all. In a blog on her MySpace site, the band’s frontwoman, Leigh Nash, announced that she and Matt Slocum decided over coffee to join forces again and make Sixpence records for the "next 2,000 to 3,000 years."
While band reunions seldom live up to their hype and more often than not tarnish a band's legacy, Nash and Slocum were quite the dynamic songwriting duo for 12 years before calling it quits in 2004 and probably have many more good songs in them. Still, it’s doubtful they’ll ever shed the one-hit wonder label affixed after the Platinum-selling radio friendly tune "Kiss Me" crowded airwaves in 1997 (often without so much as a mention of the band’s name). The duo is recording an EP and has a tour planned for April, according to Nash’s blog post. "We were missing each other and the gift that I believe God gave us- I knew before that the two of us were more powerful than one of us alone, but it was becoming more obvious as time ticked by," Nash wrote..
