In a new article on La Presse, regarding the announcement of Simple Plan’s performance in Acton Vale, QC in August, another photo from the recently revealed photoshoot by Alain Roberge, was used.

For 8 years now, the Simple Plan Foundation has been teaming up wit the organization Regroupement des maisons de jeunes du Québec (RMJQ / The Coalition of youth centres in Quebec), and giving out funds to worthy causes and projects that help young people by promoting the practice of music in order to help young people find passion and purpose in life. Recently it has been annnounced that the recipient of this year’s grant of $4500 from the Simple Plan Foundation is the Canadian non-profit organization Carrefour Jeunesse Desjardins for their project ‘La musique, c’est la vie’ (Music – that is life).
According to the press release: “With this grant, the youth house will develop a musical project, which will be structured and motivated by a purchase of musical instruments. The musical program will be spread throughout the school year and will end with a fiery performance at the large regional Gala des Laurentides “I expose my talents.” Young people aged between 11 and 17 years will be able to participate by practicing regularly in preparation for the Gala.”
“It seemed to us that music could be an important ally for us and for them. Fortunately, the Simple Plan Foundation has believed it too,” said Catherine Drouin, the coordinator of the recipients’ project.
Before getting a day off in Paris today, the Simple Plan boys performed for the sold-out crowd in Antwerp, Belgium last night. Check out some of the first revealed professional photos from this show in the gallery:
As promised, here are some more pictures from the surprise for the band in Prague organized by SimplePlan.cz, during which fans help us signs with partial lyrics from the song ‘The Rest Of Us’ with arrows pointing down at their holders.
Besides Sim’s photos, which were added last week, you can now also find some new pictures from Chady in the gallery, who sent them in now (thanks!). Enjoy:
It won’t take much longer now and in just a few weeks we will all be able to check out the new music video for Simple Plan’s next single – ‘Singing In The Rain’, which should be coming out around the beginning of April. The band filmed this 70s-inspired music video, directed by Mark Staubach at the end of February, and while they’re on the road now, Mark’s been working on putting the video together and just sent the band the first cut.
Make sure to check out Simple Plan’s Snapchat today (simpleplanmusic) for a video, on which you can check out Chuck, Seb, Jeff and Frank checking out the first cut of the video together. According to Jeff’s own words, he’ll be ‘smiling for days’ after watching this video.
Are you excited to see it too?
