I'll have another vowel please Carol

my apologies for a nonsensical title, but I rolled the die and that was its choice.

The help I require, if you would be so kind is this;

I have been playing on an actual kit for about a year, and tarting about with the rockband drum sticks,(timing etc) for a few months before, I play in a band (As Above) with two others, a guitarist and a lead singer, and myself on drums. The problem we have is that there simply are not enough musicians, and though we will not stop trying to find another axe-wielding maniac (or three) its getting a bit frustrating that we cannot look at doing a lot of songs as they require more musicians (we do do (lol) backing tracks but its just not the same, especially if someone goes tits up, we have to follow the track not the band anyhoos), so after all this my question stands as so;

Can you guys give us a couple of songs that require only a vocalist, guitar and drummer??? (a rythm or bassist is not too much of a hassle, providing they are not too prominent and could easily be ignored...)

Thanks dudes.

Any of The White Stripes.

Check out the Raveonettes, they're an up and coming 2 piece. Don't know if it's your kind of music, but it's a start.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs don't use a bassist either. AND this drum beat is pretty cool.

The Black Keys - two man group. One on guitar/vocals, the other on the drums. And their music is super cool.
