After moving from his native Bavaria to St. John's, Newfoundland at a young age Wiechmann took up guitar to pass the time.

In 1983 he formed KAOS with Forbes who performed their first show on a CBC TV talent show called 'The Fame Game'.

In 1985, after discovering CBC voice-over vocalist (and future wife) Cindy Wiechmann, they independently released the critically acclaimed 'Total Kaos' album.

1n 1986 they landed an opening slot on Helix's 'Long Way To Heaven' tour.

Then when the band's video "Summer of Love" was featured on Much Music's 'Power Hour' doors began to open and they ended up playing opening slots for such internationally recognized acts as Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Dio, Cheap Trick, and Canadian bands The Headpins, Sass Jordan, and Chilliwack.

A six-song demo cassette called 'TV Eye' followed in 1987 and the band toured across Newfouindland. After the tour ended, The Weichmann's moved to London, Ontario and worked in various bar acts for more than a decade.

Following some Helix recording sessions at Rainer Wiechmann's studio in London, both Wiechmann's became members of Helix from 2004 to 2006.

Aside from his gig with Helix, Rainer Wiechmann has also become a recognized music producer for the likes of Thine Eyes Bleed, Summertime Daises, Blood of Christ and London, Ontario's Kittie.

The Weichmann's were occasionally performing in a Meat Loaf tribute act called Bat Out of Hell but are currently in a new project called NAIL with another former member of Kaos - drummer Dale Penney.
