Bands without guitar/other high end instruments

[Matt2799]

There are quite a few well known bands without a bassist (White Stripes, Black Keys, etc), but I never seem to hear about any bands without a guitar player, and when I say that, I'm really thinking about bands with just drums, bass, and vox. Are there any good ones, or is treble really needed for music to sound 'complete'?

This thread comes up every 6 months or so.

Death From Above 1979, Clatter, Lullabye Arkestra (amazing!), Om, and many others.

None of those bands are lacking in treble, IMHO.

I can't think of any with that instrumentation but there's a band from nashville called the black diamond heavies that's drum, rhodes, vox.

Morphine,,,, That was the whole concept....

No Guitar

Niacin - Billy Sheehan, Dennis Chambers, and some guy (forget name) on B-3. Saw them at Bass Day, '99 (?). Awesome!

There was a band called womb about ten years ago that had Beeker from God forbid, didnt really sound that impressive considering they weren't as accomplished bass players as they are now.

Lightning Bolt
Acoustic Ladyland (I'm sure at least for the 2nd and 3rd albums)

Oh wait you said just drums vocals and bass, my examples don't really apply to that, oops

[Deluge Of Sound]

Big Business also deserves a mention.

Lots of grindcore bands are just drum and bass.
