*Mother Brothers has a Drummer and a Baritone G@#tar player.
*Gonzalo Silva used to gig with just a Drummer. |

The band was called Big Sir. I went online and couldn't find anything about them. Does anyone know anything? |

Ned's Atomic Dustbin had two bassists, but I think they had guitars too.

Ned's Atomic Dustbin also had one dude playing keyboards unless I am mistaken. He wore his baseball cap backwards and danced while he played. The keyboard stand would be rocking and shaking, making me wonder how long those keyborads were going to stay attached.

I would imagine that a group that was nothing but basses would sound kind of boring, unless you had a couple of piccolo basses in there.

Dirk Diggler and I did one where he played Warr guitar and I switched back and forth between fretless bass and guitar synth throughout the night. Way fun, that was. |

Band X is a semi-punk band with jsut drums, vocals, and bass... odd songs *L* VERY odd songs...
Les Claypool's many iterations of musical mayhem also come to mind.
