Two Piece bands

Not drums and bass, but Hella is simply astounding, their first album 'Hold Your Horses' is one of my favorite records ever. Also the stuff Zach Hill and Carson McWhirter do together, like this Invalid Link Removed is great.
 
I'm a big fan of Japanther, very Ramones-esque and dance-able. They sing through pay phone receivers and have a tiny tape player that accompanies them and plays all their keyboard parts/sample. Very lo-fi, great live show.

Japanther: "Challenge"

I used to live in Providence, which has a surfeit of two-piece bands (probably thanks to Lightning Bolt):

The Body are an incredible sludge/doom guitar/drum duo that are absolutely epic live. Last time I saw them, their rig decimated two surge protectors.

The Body: "Lathspell I name you"

Wizzards is a Brian Gibson, of LB fame, side project where he switches off to playing drums (which he's good at too). Doesn't sound a whole lot like LB, much more melodic, sounding almost like the soundtrack to an 80's Toei cartoon performed by members of Yes. Very cool/
