Enchanted Ape | Live at Bunkers - July 14, 2006
See more photos!Since hearing their new album, Three Ring Symphony, a couple of months ago I have been totally excited to see Enchanted Ape live. And last Saturday, I got that chance.
Riding my bike to Bunkers, a spacious bar with an excellent stage and sound system, was both fun and scary. Fun because on the way I stopped to see a band playing in the parking lot ajacent to the Central Library; scary because you never know what’s going to happen when you roll down Washington Avenue at night on two manpowered wheels. But I arrived safe and sound and ready to see a great rock show. And see a great rock show I did!

With the crowd in a dizzy, Probst then proceeded to regularly mezmerize anyone within hearing distance with his solos, slides, and accents that are so unique to his instrument and playing style.

Probst’s cello philmandering withstanding, the highlight of the evening was the instrumental song, “Lance Link”, which featured an enthralling rhythm drum track overlayed with O’Brien’s signature rhythm guitar and chord changes.
