Electro Quarterstaff is an instrumental Heavy Metal band hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. They play a form of progressive/technical Heavy Metal and are unique in that they employ three lead guitarists. Initially consisting of just three guitarists and drummer, they added a bassist to their line-up in winter 2006 and played their first show with him in autumn 2007.
