Career

[edit | edit source]

Timbuk 3 was formed in 1984 in Madison, Wisconsin, by the husband-and-wife team of Pat MacDonald (acoustic, electric, bass and MIDI guitars, harmonica, vocals, drum programming) and Barbara Kooyman (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin, violin, rhythm programming, vocals). After moving to Austin, they signed to I.R.S. Records.[3]

In 1991, Wally Ingram (drums) and Courtney Audain (bass) joined the duo.[4]

Timbuk 3 briefly appeared in the 1988 movie D.O.A. (starring Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel) as a house band. They performed the songs "Too Much Sex, Not Enough Affection" and "Life Is Hard".[5]
