Thank you, Gitaardocphil.
Our first C.D., "A Bonified Social Club" was a live performance with guitar, tuba and harmonica only. The sound worked for some strange reason and we didn't sound like anybody.
When we recorded "Magic Chair" two years later, we added drums, pans (steel drums) and a lead guitarist.
Listen to more cuts at: http://cdbaby.com/cd/johnrenohfc
John Reno recently made an all - comedy album entitled "Tactical Broaching" with just his rhythm guitar and Bret Gambino on lead.

HI, Tubatooter, didn't have the opportunity to say welcome, I am really interested in your band.
Only GUITAR, HARMONICA & TUBA, must be a nice combination. No drums? No bass?
Sounds great

We Are Scientists were a three man band for ages
They went down to two for a bit after the drummer left
Now they're up to four, I think..

Can't think of any others right now...

John Butler Trio and Jack Johnson. Jacks started using Zack from ALO on piano some for recording and occasionally on tour but I'd still consider them a 3 man band. Zack only plays along when he's not busy with his own projects.

SOUTHPAW!!!!!!!!!

ye just mentioned all the ones I was going to,lol.

3 man bands that stand out for me is

the jam,
police,
rush and Nirvana.

But like Mixter says about adding in a few others like The Who etc, maybe a 4 person band but wrote loads of songs with just guitar, drum and bass.

but I would also mention bands like Led Zeppelen, Van Halen, The Who, and Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave, as they are a power trio plus vocalist.

Stevie Ray & Double trouble were a 4 piece band( Reece Wynans, keyboards)

I'll throw in a few;
ZZ Top Meat Puppets
Primus Violent Femmes
The James Gang Dinosoar Jr
Grand Funk Railroad Melvins
The Police Everclear
Motorhead Kings X
The Outfield Los Lonely Boys
Robin Trower Band Seether
The Jam North Mississippi All Stars
Triumph Sublime
The Minutmen Blink 182
Gov't Mule(early days) Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Hot Tuna Beck, Bogart, and Appice
