1. Tribeca (Sweden / Labrador) is the band of Lasse Lindh and Claes Björklund. The band was formed with one purpose in mind: To make music we loved but never heard anywhere. In other words: Tribeca was spawned by rage. Sick and tired of bands doing it all wrong the only way out was to do it themselves. Sounds pretentious? Well, why not..
The Tribeca saga started a chill winter evening at a cafe in Stockholm, Sweden when singer/songwriter Lasse Lindh, invited his favorite producer, Claes Björklund {who produced Lasse Lindh's »You wake up at sea tac«}, over for a cup of coffee. The two held the same musical ideas and ideals and that marked the start for Tribeca.
Shortly after Tribeca headed for the country for four months where they recorded what turned out to be »Kate -97«, their debut album. A long time for recording an album you might say, but Claes isn’t exactly the sloppy kind of producer. Tribeca recorded and mixed for about four months. And you can really hear that on the album, it's a lot of very great sounds that’s isn’t made in an instance..
Tribeca »Kate-97« was released in August 2002 on Labrador Records, Mushroom Pillow {Spain} and Philter {Japan}.
Late summer 2002 Lasse Lindh entered the studio with producer Claes Björklund again. This time to record a new Lasse Lindh album. The idea was to record most stuff live in the studio and end up an album based on live takes with a rough, guitar based sound.
Autumn 2003: Lasse Lindh shows up at the Labrador office with the finished material: An all together electronic pop album by Tribeca. “Dragon Down” contains twelve highly a ddictive pop songs in crystal clear production with analogue synthezisers, groovy old school beats, and singer Lasse's smooth vocals up in the front. A truly wonderful album indeed!

2. Tribeca (Manchester / Urbanite) are the original Manchester UK Cyberband.

The band consists of Gaynor Black and Maria O'Hare on vocals, Phil Birchenall on guitars and samplers, Tom Chapman on bass, Phil Rainey on guitars and Frank Staiger on drums and percussion.
One listen to the sublime piece of heaven that is ALWAYS ASK - the perfect song to fall out of love to, and you'll be hooked. 'The new wave of freshly innovative Manchester bands, such as Badly Drawn Boy, Nylon Pylon, Tribeca, Doves...' Pete Mitchell / Geoff Lloyd - Virgin Radio 'Swoonsome trip-pop!' Dan Martin - Manchester Evening News
2003 saw the release of the long awaited new single from TRIBECA - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? It was the band's first release in almost two years and features new singer Gaynor Black on vocals and was produced by TRIBECA and MY MATE MARK with additional production from Martin Moscrop from A Certain Ratio. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? is a three and a half minute rush of pop that mixes the usual dirty beats and flicks a nod at New Order and The Smiths. It's backed with the Ithaca remix of CITY BREEZE and the Bulletproof reconstruction of ASTROCHILD.

Forever Young
Tribeca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Closer she comes with eyes swollen and red. She says, "Let us stay, I wanna stay
Forever young"
"Beauty is the worst of things. The more you have, the more you miss when it's gone"
Forever young
"I wanna stay, I want to stay
Forever young"
The lyrics to Tribeca's song Forever Young seems to touch on the theme of the fear of aging and the desire to retain youthfulness. The opening lines, "Knowledge of aging grows in me so bad. It itches, I scratch, it itches and I scratch" are a lamentation on the realization that one's youthfulness is gradually slipping away. The use of the word "itches" in this line connotes a sense of annoyance and uncomfortableness with the process of growing older. This is further emphasized in the second line, where the singer describes how the person they are speaking with has swollen and red eyes. This could be interpreted to symbolize the emotional turmoil and tears that come with the realization that we are all getting older.
The chorus, "Let us stay, I wanna stay, forever young. Beauty is the worst of things. The more you have, the more you miss when it's gone" is a clever paradox because the more we try to maintain our beauty, the more we realize how fleeting it is. The singer desires to stay forever young, but acknowledges that beauty fades with time. The irony in wanting to stay young forever is that we never fully appreciate the gift of youth until it has passed.
Overall, the lyrics to Forever Young are thought-provoking and relatable to many who have similar fears about aging. Tribeca manages to capture the essence of our struggle to hold on to our youth, reminding us that beauty is just an illusion that fades with time.
