History 1980s–1990s (pre–Assemblage 23) Prior to starting Assemblage 23, Shear experimented with music under the name Man on a Stage, beginning in the early 1980s.

The style of this genre deeply impressed Shear; he believed he had finally found the sort of s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
