Editing Sixpence None the Richer (section)

===Into the mainstream (1997–2004)===
In 1997, the group signed to [[Steve Taylor]]'s label [[Squint Entertainment]] and released [[Sixpence None the Richer (album)|a self-titled album]], which slowly began garnering attention from a wider audience in the mainstream industry. 

In 1998, "[[Kiss Me (Sixpence None the Richer song)|Kiss Me]]" was released as a single, propelling Sixpence None the Richer into the national pop spotlight. The next year, the band followed up "Kiss Me" with a cover of [[The La's]]' "[[There She Goes (The La's song)|There She Goes]]". Sixpence appeared on the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]'', ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', and numerous morning talk shows. 

The band had a follow-up album ready to release, but their label [[Squint Entertainment]] started to fall apart, leaving the band in limbo for several years. Finally, Squint Entertainment folded, and the album, ''[[Divine Discontent]]'', was released in October 2002.

On February 26, 2004, Matt Slocum announced that the group had disbanded.
