Oh, how I was so depressed when I heard that Sixpence None the Richer was through with making music. Something about Leigh Nash's vocals and the poetic/intellectual lyrics soothes my soul so much. Well, I have been introduced to a fine band who can fill my desire for such music.

Eisley is the first band I have REALLY clicked with in a long time- just musically. I confess that I haven't really listened to the lyrics yet. The music leaves me full right now.



Here's a brief intro:

A quintet featuring three sisters, their brother, and their best friend, Tyler, TX's Eisley formed in 1997 when the DuPree siblings -- guitarist Chauntelle, singer/guitarist Sherri, singer/keyboardist Stacy, and drummer Weston -- began playing with bassist Jon Wilson. Originally called the Towheads, the band began playing local gigs the following year, when Stacy was just eight years old. Over the next five years, the band wrote and played, expanding their touring area to the Dallas-Fort Worth region and ultimately winning a 2003 Best New Act Award from the Dallas Observer. A few months later, the group released their debut EP, Laughing City, on the indie imprint Record Collection, and toured that spring and summer with Coldplay and Ron Sexsmith. The Marvelous Things EP arrived later in 2003, and early in 2005, their first full-length, Room Noises, arrived. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

P.S. Their name comes from a space port in Star Wars called Moss Eisley
