Tame

Sycamore (the person) and Sycamore (the band) are pleased to announce that "Tame" (SYC001) is the title of the forthcoming (and first-ever official) Sycamore single.

"Tame" was originally performed by the Pixies, and can be found on their classic 1989 release, Doolittle. Written by Black Francis and clocking in at 1:56, it contains a driving bass line (provided by Kim Deal) with quiet verses that turn into chaotic chorus. "Tame" is the song that made Sycamore (the person) fall in love with the Pixies.

While respecting the original version, the Sycamore version will add a bit more chaos to the chorus and hopefully a bit of whimsy. Prior to recording, Matt (the guitarist) and drummer helper Dave were unfamiliar with the song, but have done a fine job in creating a piece of work that is worthy of the Sycamore name.

"Tame" will be available as a free download and as a free limited edition single on a first come, first served basis. As of now, it is not been decided how many copies will actually be pressed.

The final recordings are being done for "Tame," and the single should be ready for consumption in March or April. Stay tuned for more info as it becomes available.

Thank you,
Sycamore Information Service

You'll hear it when I'm fucking done with it, and not a Goddamn minute before.

Hey Syc, how much were the rights to that song?



You did buy the rights, right?

About 9 cents a song.

We did not initially think we were going to have to pay for licensing, since we were not going to charge for the song. But since we're going to have to pay for licensing anyway, we're probably going to add it to an EP and go from there.
