Age Of Mirrors

Michael Allen Guild [aka Dave Jones] (drums, bass) Simon De Beaupre [aka Bob Bryden] (vocals) Neil Bishop (guitar) Mike Hampson (guitar; replaced Bishop) Michael A. Bradshaw (keyboards) Canadian band from Hamilton, Age of Mirrors, was formed in 1985 out of the remnants of Benzene Jag originally as a three piece featuring Bob Bryden (Christmas, Reign Ghost) under the pseudonym of Simon De Beaupre. The band blended Euro-pop uptempo love songs and eclectic dance tunes and their debut LP, 'Mirage', play listed on college charts around Toronto. Reaction was unanimously good but lack of proper distribution slowed both the album and the band. Undeterred, they recorded a second album, 'Screenplay', before packing it in. Bryden went on to record several solo records as well as producing several punk acts including The Forgotten Rebels.
