Look at you! You formed a band! Who's in it? Oh, you and that other guy/girl. I see. Well, your options are clearly laid out before you based on other power duo or two piece rock bands of the last 30 years. Let's dig in:
The White Stripes / The Kills: Believe in the power of two to your own detriment. Harness those limitations to become even more powerful than you could have even if you recruited as many members as Broken Social Scene.
The Black Keys / Flat Duo Jets: Stick with the two piece until you get sick of it. It stops you from getting boring.
Japandroids: Split you guitar signal between two amps, one for clean and one for effects. This allow for a lead and rhythm guitar sound without an additional guitarist.
Sleigh Bells / Crystal Castles: Use a sampler to your benefit.
Beach House: Skip the drummer, at least for a while.
Wye Oak: Have your drummer play one handed on a keyboard. Make it ethereal.
Lightning Bolt: Play your music on the floor, not on a stage. What would a third band member be doing anyway? You can't get any louder than you already are.
