Even though he is not part of the band and he hasn’t been touring with Simple Plan for quite a while, he still keeps us updated on what’s new in the world of music thanks to his interviews – including those with the members of Simple Plan – so I think it’s the right place and time to wish happy birthday to Patrick Langlois as he was born exactly 30 years ago!

Happy birthday Patrick!

Sebastien posted on his MySpace a snippet of the songs that are going to be featured on his next – second EP (the first one was called “You Are Here / Vous Etes Ici”). So far, most of the released songs were promoted under the cover art you can see in the left corner and under the title “Et Les Robots”, which may be the title of the new EP.

The sneak peaks from the new EP in the form of a 5-minutes-long audio can be found here.

By the way, thank to Vero for letting us know about the first photos of Simple Plan from the Two Days A Week Festival:

As I have promised you, I’ve got a huge pack of pictures from Saturday, when Simple Plan played at the I-Day Festival in Bologna, Italy, for you. Interesting fact: About 35 000 people came to see the performances of The Leeches, All Time Low, Simple Plan, Sum 41 and Blink 182 at this festival.

About 4pm, the SP Crew meet&greet took place in the “hospitality area”. You can already check out my pictures from the meet&greet in the gallery, along with professional pictures of Simple Plan from backstage and from the show itself. I should be receiving many more pictures from the meet&greet soon, so I’ll keep you posted:

Oh, and here is a little something for all of you :) (btw I know that Chuck’s signature is missing, I have no idea how it happened :D)

The I-day Festival in Bologna, Italy was a wonderful experience. Simple Plan’s show rocked on so many levels! Also, Simple Plan’s setlist was pretty surprising. The guys played not only the usual songs like Shut Up, Jump, When I’m Gone, Take My Hand, Addicted, I’d Do Anything, Time To Say Goodbye, Save You, Your Love Is A Lie, You Suck At Love and Perfect but they also played I’m Just A Kid, Promise and acoustic version of Crazy.

I took loads of pictures during the meet&greet and I will post them as soon as I get back to the Czech Republic, but till then, make sure to check out this video I took yesterday of Sebastien:

P.S.: According to Jeff’s tweet “Simple Plan and Sum 41 are cool.” Seems like the two bands have finally decided to forget all the brawls and made up at the festival! Congratz guys!

The time of the year has come again and Simple Plan’s bassist is turning one year older again – to be exact, David Desrosiers is 30 years old today!

On behalf of SimplePlan.cz I would like to wish David all the best, lots of hapiness, love, health and of course success with the upcoming Simple Plan record.

Happy birthday David!

Pierre posted a new Bubbletweet last night. Apart from Pierre, this 30-seconds-long video is also starring Patrick Langlois and his two dogs: Kovi and Stuey (you may remember Stuey as the so-called “studio dog” – back from the studio time of 2007):
