Named in honour of a passage from C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, the Austin, TX-based CCM trio Sixpence None the Richer began taking shape in the early '90s, when guitar player Matt Slocum low met vocaliser Leigh Nash (nee Bingham) at a church building retreat. Initially a trio rounded out by bassist T.J. Behling, the mathematical group recorded a 1993 demo which lED to their signing with the R.E.X. label; their debut LP, The Fatherless & the Widow, appeared before long after. With rhythm guitar player Tess Wiley, new bassist J.J. Plasencio and drummer Dale Baker, Sixpence None the Richer toured in front reversive to the studio to record their soph exploit, 1995's This Beautiful Mess; the Tickets for a Prayer Wheel EP followed later that same year. Both Wiley and Plasencio exited prior to the group's side by side LP, an eponymously highborn exertion issued in 1997. Two years later, the band achieved their sterling success with the single "Kiss Me." The song dynasty was featured on the third time of year to the WB dramatic event Dawson's Creek and catapulted Sixpence None the Richer's starpower into the mainstream. Praise continued; the band's rendering of The La's "Thither She Goes" was also a major rack up thanks to its inclusion in the Nickolodeon photographic film Snow Day. The new millennium look brilliant as easily; despite the deviation of creation drummer Dale Baker in 2001, Sixpence None the Richer gathered material for a fourth album. Rob Mitchell replaced Baker and the band inked a new make do with Reprise. In fall 2002, Sixpence None the Richer returned to form with the lushly beautiful Divine Discontent. The band's cover of the Crowded House greco-Roman "Don't Dream It's Over" pushed Sixpence None the Richer's nominate back into the charts in early 2003; the song's inclusion on the soundtrack to the WB's Smallville was a major strike among the teen audience.
