Your favorite two-man band?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
