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.

So I love you I guess that′s a good thing
We could live together and talk
About the things we think is important
You could rub my hair with your hands
And I can say all those things
That makes your body shiver,
We could eat our meals together
And we could lay like spoons when the night caves in
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
So I found you I'm told that′s a hard thing
A hard thing to do those times
You could wrap your arms around me,
Squeeze as hard as you like
And I can say all those things
That makes your body shiver,
We could eat our meals together,
And we could lay like spoons when the night caves in
I've got to know what it's all about
La la la la la la la la

The verse ends with the suggestion of cuddling together at night, showing that physical closeness is just as important.
The second verse emphasizes the idea that finding love is difficult but rewarding. The partner is described as wrapping their arms around the singer tightly, suggesting both a physical and emotional embrace. The idea that the singer can make their partner's body shiver through their words creates the impression that the relationship is intense and passionate. The verse concludes similarly to the first, with the suggestion of eating and sleeping together, reinforcing the idea that being in a relationship means sharing every aspect of life together.
