The synth-heavy song was inspired by the Cars’ 1984 single “Drive,” frontman Jason Lytle said in a statement. “Setting out with the intent of replicating the ‘feel and vibe’ of the song ‘Drive’ which is one of my favorite Cars songs …I got a little of the way into “Bison on the Plains” (BOTP) and realized I had failed,” Lytle said. Yikes, a cliffhanger! Read how it turned out www.rollingstone.com

Sycopant played their last live gig on May 5, 2001 at The Tractor Tavern. Here's what The Stranger said about the upcoming show "Once upon a time there was a band called Sycophant. Creator of catchy acoustic pop songs, along with the occasional sad-sack melody, Sycophant had some popularity in town until the band exploded over a year ago. Now Sycophant is reuniting for one last show at the Tractor before the bandmates go their separate ways--literally. Gavin Protas, singer and guitar player, is moving across the country, making another Sycophant reunion highly unlikely. If you were a fan when this was a band, make sure not to miss the show. If you missed Sycophant the first time, now's your chance to jump on the bandwagon just before it derails (again)."
