– Pierre Bouvier –

“And I wanted to say something. There’s something about this place here, in Prague, in Czech Republic… there’s a lot of love for Simple Plan. And I wanna say thank you very much – I wanna say thank you.. to Dominika. Who runs SimplePlan.cz, which is actually better than our own website. And I know she’s a big reason why everybody’s here tonight. And I wanna say thank you very much!”

– Pierre Bouvier –

(during the show in Prague, Czech Republic, in March 2016)

Jeff Stinco

“You know, when I wanna look at my calendar, my schedule, I look at your site.”

– Jeff Stinco –

(during an interview for SimplePlan.cz in September 2011)

“I still read your site to learn things I don’t know about my band.”

– Jeff Stinco –

“Last night in Prague, Pierre made a speech about being grateful for the contribution of our fans to our success. He thanked Dominika for her work with www.simpleplan.cz and I’d like to join him to thank her as well. You’re the best! We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you.”

– Jeff Stinco –

(on Instagram after the show in Prague, Czech Republic, in March 2016)

“These days, it’s media like the Internet and perhaps also TV, radio and print, that help the band out. But in the Czech Republic, there is another factor. Fans and their hard work. Many years ago, our big Czech fan Dominika Marsova started a website simpleplan.cz, and because she did it well and dutifully, the website and therefore even the band has gotten a lot more attention. And in the end of the process we have a sold-out Mala Sportovni Hala venue. It’s sort of a phenomenon. And it’s really great that something like that works. The whole music scene can’t be doing that bad if one fan with simple means can cause such an avalanche.”

– Jeff Stinco –

(in an interview for the Czech music magazine Rock & Pop in March 2016)

“The fans around the world gather and talk about the band. For example, the popularity of the band in Czech Republic is based only on one site which feeds the fans. She cultivates the promotion of the band, the girl’s called Dominika, she has begun it all over there. We are one of the biggest rock bands in the Czech Republic because of her.”

– Jeff Stinco –

(in an interview for Salut Bonjour in February 2017)

“And then we’re going to Europe. In Czech Republic especially, you know, we have… there’s many reasons for that.. we have a crazy fanbase in the Czech Republic. We’ve always had amazing shows, they’re probably the biggest shows we’ve had in all of Europe and I think it has something to do with the fact that we have a website.. a fan website in the Czech Republic that basically knows more about this band than I know myself! I actually check out the website to know my schedule ahead of the time.”

[Interviewer: It’s a bit scary, isn’t it?]

*(laughs)* “It’s a bit scary. I don’t know how she does it. I really don’t know.”

– David Desrosiers –

(after Patrick asks: “Has anyone ever done that? Like subtitle a French interview so that people of the world in English can see it?”) “I think so, I think some awesome, awesome but nerdy people at SimplePlan.cz would do that. Try to translate and bam – feed the world.”

“Thank you for your dedication in documenting all of the important moments in Simple Plan’s career and creating a community of fans worldwide where we can share our passion for the band. I first discovered your website/blog about 10/11 years ago when it was linked to an online platform for music fans (not myspace). After reading about the band on your site, I learned that Simple Plan is so much more than just a typical “boy band”. This changed me from being just a “casual” fan to a “serious” fan. Flash forward to 2010 when the band recorded GYHO in my hometown of Vancouver, Canada. It was through your updates that I knew that Simple Plan was even in town and the name of the studio where they were recording. In October, I knew from Simpleplan.cz that they were finishing recording. I took a chance and called the studio. The band was nice enough to let me come down and tour the studio! No one in my core group of friends has ever been a serious fan, so it has been hard for me to talk about Simple Plan without sounding like a crazy fangirl to them. Luckily I have the connection of fans through your website! I have learned about so many amazing bands (ie. Amasic/ Story Untold) from your posts when Simple Plan has collaborated with them. What I think differentiates your website from other fan sites is the quality of the content. I like that you keep the site interesting and respect the band member’s personal privacy.”

– Rae, Canada –

“I’m pretty sure I read simpleplan.cz more often than Simple Plan’s actual site. I try to contribute set lists or pictures whenever I can, I’m lucky that I live in Canada so I get to see shows quite often. I have so much respect for what you’ve created here and wish you nothing but the best in the future!

– Jennifer, Canada –

“I’ve been a avid follower of the page since the beginning. Always shared the post and SP.cz and sponline were my source of SP info. I will forever be thankful for all the work you do to bring us all the new info!!
