Eclectic Shock Therapy is a progressive rock band from Vancouver, BC amalgamating the complementary talents and perspectives of Nate Draper, an international filmmaker from Ontario, David Loti, a kinetic front man from South Louisiana, and Mike Root, a respected veteran in Vancouver’s music scene. The band integrates diverse influences from the last half century of rock through electric guitar, bass, drums, keys, and vocals, offering an energized and engaging live performance with a balance of polished technical musical aptitude and aural accessibility. EST embodies a tension between an understated humor and compelling lyrical content, exploring themes of meaning, self-doubt, and recovering our humanity, creativity, and relationality in a postmodern, hyper-technological, consumeristic age exploding with existentialistic ennui. Eclectic Shock Therapy lives up to its name and adds something special and praiseworthy to Canada’s music scene.
