Chip Damiani of The Remains passed away..

aah bugger - he was a great drummer and I loved his playing

RIP Chip
 
Saw The Remains at the Brighton Music Hall in January 2012. Got to chat with Chip for a bit after the show; genuinely cool guy who enjoyed chatting with his fans and was looking forward to doing something to commemorate the band's 50th.

They did have a show tentatively scheduled for April 26th at Johnny D's in Somerville, MA. Obviously that won't be happening now. R.I.P. Chip and condolences to his family and bandmates. :(
