Bands with no guitars

Totally the wrong place to post this as this is a band with just a guitar and drummer but they make an incredible sound for just two people. It's all live. Loop pedals and triggered samples. Good songs too, not a load of bollocks, screaming and sludge etc

A post from the "Bands with one or more guitars" thread! Right here!
The sacrilege! Roll out the KZ!

Wait! It's one of those optical illusions!
If you stare at it long enough, a bass and a Hartke thing may appear in the background.


Thanks for posting, good Lord. I liked that.

best,

The band I am in (Crimson Clocks) don't have a guitarist. We did to begin with, and there is one on our recordings. Having said that we have now done more gigs without than with and are about to record another CD that won't feature guitar at all.

Audiences either seem to either dismiss us straight away for lack of guitar or really enjoy what we do - seems to depend on if we are playing in a rock venue or elsewhere :)

+1 for Greenslade (although they did allow a 6 stringer in on Spyglass Guest and Time & Tide )

Can i also suggest The Bad Plus

Yeah I know they slipped in a bit of guitar later on but felt obliged as Tony Reeves is or has been a BC member ;)

From the 70's does anyone remember Rare bird with a similar lineup to Greenslade, twin keyboards, bass and drums, Steve Gould was the bass player and lead vocalist and has a superb voice, and played for a long time with Alvin Lee, they had a bit of a hit with a song called 'Sympathy' I also like ' you went away' where the vocals really step up a notch for the chorus.

Then again, this here Mo band from Holland were the essholes who ditched the bass as well.
I love them though. Who can not love a band with a bassoon?
Must find a song with that bassoon.

Oh! Here be the bassoon.
Be forewarned though. This is pop music. :o
Well crafted, quirky pop music, admittedly, but pop nonetheless.
