Bill S. Preston, Esquire, and Theodore "Ted" Logan are... *Wyld Stallyns!*

Lucky Day: I'm Lucky Day.
Ned Nederlander: I'm Ned Nederlander.
Dusty Bottoms: I'm Dusty Bottoms, and together we're...
All: The Three Amigos!

—¡Three Amigos!

When a band with two members, when introducing themselves, say something to the effect of "I'm First Last, this is Second Last and together we are Puntastic Band Name." This is not just restricted to music, though- many superhero teams have been known to use this trope as well.

Examples of Together We Are X include:

Anime and Manga

Parodied in Bleach with the initial appearance of Nel, Pesche, and Dondochakka. Together they are something... they just hadn't decided on what in time to get their introduction right.
After introducing themselves, the Ginyu Force from Dragonball Z would proclaim "Together we are...The Ginyu Force!" before striking poses.
Written right into the title of the first Pretty Cure series -- Futari wa Pretty Cure, which literally means "The Two of Us are Pretty Cure".

Comic Books

X-Men

"Hi! I'm Nightcrawler!"
"And I'm Shadowcat!"
"We're X-Men!"
"And these are your weapons systems!" *kablam*

Film

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Bill: "I'm Bill S. Preston, Esquire!"
Ted: "And I'm Ted Theodore Logan!"
Both: "And we are Wyld Stallyns!"

¡Three Amigos!!.

Lucky Day: I'm Lucky Day.
Ned Nederlander: I'm Ned Nederlander.
Dusty Bottoms: I'm Dusty Bottoms, and together we're...
All: The Three Amigos!

The Road to El Dorado:

Miguel: I am Miguel.
Tulio: And I am Tulio.
Miguel: And they call us Miguel and Tulio!

- also:

Tulio: Miguel and Tulio!
Miguel: Tulio and Miguel!
both: Mighty and powerful Gods!

Live-Action TV

Countless auditioners on talent shows.
On one episode of Mock the Week, Andy Parson parodies this trope:

Hello, my name is Billy Cock, and this is my partner, Brian Balls. And together we are (beat) Billy and Brian!

This happens a couple times in A Bit of Fry and Laurie, usually as part of a parody of some television personality or other.
Super Sentai roll calls always take this format, with each Ranger introducing him/herself (either just saying their codename or giving a little speech about themselves) before all the members say the team name together. In fact, original team Himitsu Sentai Goranger's call ends with "The five of us are... Goranger!"

Professional Wrestling

Kenny!
Johnny!
Mitch!
Nicky!
Mikey!
And we are... The Spirit Squad!

Video Games

God Hand. The Mad Midget Five introduce themselves.

Red: Caught that wild "JOKER"!
Yellow: One-heart gangsta "DIAMOND"!
Green: You can find me at the "CLUB"!
Blue: Have your pet neutered or "SPADE"!
Pink: I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm Hearts, I mean "HEARTS"!
Red: Together, we are... [all five together lie on the floor forming a V shape with their legs and a V appeared on the screen] The "Mad-Midget Five"!
Gene: Douchebags!

Web Original

Little White Lie: At the beginning, Sami and Duder quote this verbatim.

Western Animation

Avatar: The Last Airbender: "I'm the idea guy. You're the cutting stuff up with waterbending guys and together we are Team Avatar!"
