Gigging with only bass and drums?

I'm amazed that no one has pointed this out. Check out Clatter.com. Their site is down at the moment, but there's a link to their Facebook page.

Husband and wife bass and drum duo from Missouri. Absolutely killer and they do pretty well.

I've seen an unknown solo bassist keep people entranced and if you ad drums and some decent vocals, it's more a matter of making sure that you've got something to listen to rather than what the exact instrumentation is.

Besides, with bass, drums & vox, you've got all you need to let people eat dinner or rock a dance floor.

Do it.

Look up Strzebonsky Noizescene, they're only drums and bass. Saw them for the first time last weekend, very impressive!

I started an "electronica" project , me and a drummer.

He uses a V-Drum and Octopad and I use a V-Bass and "Live".
I do the keyboard part , the guitar part , and the bass parts all with the VB99 while he lays down the grooves.

Lots of fun.

Have I have been trying the same thing my drummer. I use my boss synthesizer allot for that. We are going for the sts9 type thing without guitar. We are also trying the live dubstep thing. I personally like jamming with just the drummer, it helps us get in sync.

My drummer and I just finished our project -- Groovulation -- that went on every other Sat. eve for six months. we played at a deli and billed ourselves as background music. It went over really well, and we have been asked when we'll be back; we decided to quit because it was too much of a hassle. We do this for fun (we have been doing it for about 6 years, and we continue to do it in our living-rooms) and when it isn't fun we don't have to do it any more.

OH! FYI: we were acoustic drums & double-bass -- straight in, a K&M Bass Max Pro into an Ampeg BA-210. No vox. We do all kinds of music: groove improv and covers (that often wander away from the orig and sometimes come sauntering on back!). Good times!
