How ironic that Saint Valentine’s Day should fall on a Tuesday this year, on the very day that my Don’t Believe a Word I Say column is put out there for all the world to see. I’ve never been a Vday kinda girl. Maybe it’s because I’ve never been very romantic. Maybe it’s because the colour red looks terrible on me. Or maybe because my father’s birthday falls on February 14th, so the idea of people being schmoopy and amorous on the day my dad was born is just kind of….icky. Whatever the reason, I’ve never been a fan.

Maybe I’m late to the party, but there are a LOT of two person bands out there! Whether this is a new or old phenomenon, I’m not sure, but it fascinates me. The traditional rock band set up usually consists, at the very least, of a singer, a guitarist, a bassist and a drummer. Now, traditional and rock and roll are two concepts that don’t tend to go together very often. Rock is about rebellion, about breaking barriers and most of all about challenging conventional notions. Whether it’s dropping a bassist, dropping a guitarist, or just dropping convention, these bands are some of the two person (in most cases) that have caught my ear.
