His name may not be well known, but Chris Reimer put his stamp on many western indy rock fans souls. Reimer died in his sleep at the age of 26. Reimer was a member of the much loved, noise and drone rock band Women, who had released a landmark album back in 2010 called Public Strain. I named it one of my favourite albums of 2010. He was also a member of the electro/noise/rock band Azeda Booth.
It's not know what Reimer died of, but he did have an irregular heartbeat and sleep apnea. His family have set up a blog and music bursary in his name. If you have anything to add to remember the legacy of Reimer's contributions to the Calgary and Canadian indy rock scene, please post:
