After relying on a small but devoted fanbase for the last several years, this once obscure rock band is on the verge of becoming a household name. With their Grammy nominated self-titled album now certified GOLD, and the #1 smash hit "Kiss Me" (along with their second hit "There She Goes") leading the way at several formats in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., Sixpence is cherishing every moment of hard-won acceptance.

The formation of Sixpence was set in motion in 1989 when a 16-year-old Matt Slocum heard 13-year-old Leigh sing in a small town just south of Austin, TX. After signing with a small independent label three years later, they debuted in 1993 with THE FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW, an impressive introduction which landed a Billboard Critic's Choice as one of the Ten Best Albums of the Year.
