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. A sparkling mixture of sampled beats, bleeps and breaks with live guitars, drums + bass and topped with a light dusting of exquisite pop vocals. 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.

Her Breasts Were Still Small
Tribeca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she put her hand,
Her left hand, in my pants
The scene was the grass
The grass by the lake on august the 12th, 1988
We have been drinking all day
The liquor we stole
From my daddy's shelf
Her breasts were still small
When she put her hand,
Her left hand, in my pants
She was so nervous she shook
When I kissed her nipples, she shook
She was so nervous, she she shook
She whispered "you were the first"
I never told her she was the first for me, too
The lyrics to Tribeca's song "Her Breasts Were Still Small" tell a story of two lovers who are enjoying an intimate moment together. The setting is the grass by a lake on August 12th, 1988. The two characters have been drinking all day, and their inhibitions are lowered.
The woman is described as having small breasts, and she puts her left hand in the man's pants. This action seems to be a gesture of sexual desire and exploration. The man kisses her nipples, and she is nervous and shakes with anticipation. She whispers to him that he is her first sexual partner, and he admits that she is his first, too.
The song is a bittersweet reflection on a moment in time that was both exciting and vulnerable for these two characters. The use of specific details, such as the date and location, creates a sense of intimacy and nostalgia. The lyrics also touch on themes of innocence, trust, and vulnerability.
