The lead singer of Simple Plan, Pierre Bouvier celebrates is 32rd birthday today and along with him SP’s guitar tech – Patrick Ouimet – who you all know as Frenchie (it’s his 27th birthday).

Congratulations to both. Happy birthday guys!

Another year already passed by and we can celebrate another birthday of Simple Plan’s lead singer – Pierre Bouvier (who is turning 31 today) and also the unforgettable birthday of Simple Plan’s guitar tech Patrick Ouimet, who you all know as Frenchie (who is turning 26 today)!

We wish them both all the best! Happy birthday, guys!!!

Yesterday, April 12th, Sebastien met with Frenchie and Frank Joly (sound engineer and Seb’s friend) in Frank’s studio, to mix Seb’s second EP! For now, there is no more information about Seb’s next album, but Frank posted a photo on his Twitter from the mixing:

As you already know, Sebastien from Simple Plan was yesterday a part of the so-called Busking For Change event – during which canadian musicians were busking for change in the subway stations in Montreal, raising money for the War Child organisation.

Apart from Sebastien, also other canadian musicians attended this event – for example the bands October Sky or The New Cities or the signer Jason Bajada. Just like on his mini-tour, Sebastien had a little help of Frenchie with supporting musical instruments.

The money that was raising by this event (and which can still be donated online) will go to the War Child organisation, which helps children affected by war – by the way every year it’s about 200,000 children their and families.

Out of all the musicians that played in the Montreal’s subway stations yesterday, Sebastien managed to attract the most people.

Sebastien said: “It’s for the kids, you know. Two thirds of war casualties are children and when you see that statistic, you don’t have a choice, you have to be generous, you have to make a donation, and you have to get involved somehow and that’s why I’m here, I guess,”

Patrick’s Objectif Coulisses already made a video about Busking For Change, where you can check out how the event looked like and what the musicians said about it. Even thought the video is in French, it’s definitely worth watching!

And finally here is one video right from Sebastien’s performance on Busking For Change with his song Life Goes On:

Also Simple Plan members wish their fans merry Christmas – particularly all of them, who are on Twitter, plus Patrick and Frenchie! Pierre also added a photo to his xmas message:

And here are already the forementioned xmas messages from the boys:

Since Chuck and Pierre “discovered” twitcam, a lot of other SP people have tried to twitcam too. Pierre, for instance, tried it yesterday, but didn’t succeed. On the other hand, Sebastien succeeded and so he made a twitcam chat as a surprise for his 30 000 followers on Twitter. He talks about new songs on his MySpace, which he added there today: Life Goes On (live in Montreal), Can’t Stop Partyin’ (originally by Weezer), Tik Tak (originally by Ke$ha) and also his own song called Catch Me, where he sings along with his friend Katie Rox:

Also Frenchie decided to join this new twitcam fenomenon and he responded to many fans’ messages (including ours :)). Check out his twitcam right here:
