## Summary

Timbuk 3 formed in Minneapolis in 1983 with Pat MacDonald on vocals and guitar, Barbara Bryan on bass and vocals, and Paul Bryan on drums. Their debut album 'Greetings from Timbuk 3' came out in 1986 and included 'The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades,' which became their best-known song. The track's ironic optimism and simple guitar hook made it an unexpected hit that still gets played decades later....
