Your favorite two-man band?
 

Mine will forever be Local H seeing as how they are my favorite band :D

They always put on the best high-energy shows. I also love The Black Keys with a passion they put on some great shows as well!

Hmmm... depends what you mean. Do they count as a two man band if there are two official members, but they are a larger band when they tour?

Sounds like that's the case, since The Black Keys are mentioned. At least I think they tour with more people.

First that comes to mind for me would be Pinback. They are officially a two-man band but have a touring drummer, sometimes maybe a second guitarist...maybe not.

John Martyn and Danny Thompson were frigging amazing but not officially a band.

Japandroids are decent.

Just waiting for every one and his dog to drag up White Stripes.

Well, if that's the case then I think I'd probably go with Alien Sex Fiend. Not only are they a longtime favorite band of mine who've been making great music for about 30 years, but they're also a husband and wife, which is something I find kind of endearing about them.

Wham!

Their Edit/Overdose DVD is a selection of Promo vids, outtakes and live stuff and I'm pretty sure that the live stuff has more than the two of them. Don't quote me though as it's been a while since I played it and my DVD sleeve has no band info. Apart from that it's a great DVD!

Yep, they tour with a larger band, but I was going by Sidewinder's rules where it still counts as long as there are only two official members. :)

Does it count if they're not men?

The Dresden Dolls and The Kills


Oh yeah and Tenacious D counts also.

Couple great two women bands.

Freakwater



Mr. Airplane Man

nice call on Alien Sex Fiend :)

the first band that came to mind was Babyland


seeing them live was absolutely mind blowing (and ear drum blowing).....i realize this is primarily samples and percussion....but there is still so much going on there for just two people

OM

not too shabby for just bass and drums.....and again....live it was like there was an orchestra on the stage

but i would have to say my favorite two man band is by far Rome



i won't lie....neofolk is a pretty easy genre....but i've always felt that this band blends in industrial really well

After some more thought, I might have to go with Simon & Garfunkel.

These guys...

I strongly recommend this album for anyone who likes their music over the top and off the cliff. A real mind bender!
Worth it just for the title track and their version of 'Jack of Diamonds'

Probably Simon & Garfunkel...but wait. Isn't Neu! a two-man band, at least at first?

Although all three are metal bands and technically one of them is now three members:

Dornenreich


Solefald


Klabautamann


Also add to that CocoRosie if you want to consider them a two person project.

Soft Cell
The Chemical Brothers
Sam & Dave
Air

If you were wondering..

Good call!

I have plenty, Daft Punk, Crystal Castles, The Ting Tings...

Too many to be honest. Ones that jump out at me are Japandroids, No Age, Daft Punk, The White Stripes, The Evens, Death From Above 1979.

Does Ween count?

Yes! I considered voting for them myself.

Wham or Tears for Fears, but of course they had a ton of backing musicians. I rarely like music that doesn't contain several instruments.

Well, a two-man project can have multiple instruments and parts without using session members.

That's how Solefald is (Cornelius Jakhelln - vocals, guitars, bass; Lazare Nedland - vocals, keyboards, drums).

Anaal Nathrakh is the same way, they only use session members to play live.

The choice is obvious; Tiny Hawks.

The Chemical Brothers
 

The Chemical Brothers :)

I'll give Iron Lung a mention. Ween's awesome too.

Daryl Hall n Oates, I guess...

Huh? This about two man bands not solo artists. :whythis:

ooooo, i woulda forgot them.

I saw a band live called Tweak Bird at the Melvins Lite show and they have an album called "Undercover Crops" so they get a mention. their show was good too though.

Death From Above 1979 have always held a very special place in my heart, I really wish they had lasted more than just one LP though

Yes I'm serious
 

Honchey and Chess

They're amazing

DOH! Good call.
