The attendees of the Les Grandes Fetes festival that took place yesterday, July 26th, featuring bands like The Hunters, Face To Face and Weezer, got the special opportunity to see Face To Face perform with Simple Plan’s bassist David Desrosiers on stage for the song “Bright Lights Go Down”.
This is not the first time the band has asked David to perform with them on stage – in 2011, David played with Face To Face in Montreal on the song “I Want” [watch the performance here].
In just a few hours, Simple Plan will be back at it again with a free concert in Brampton, Canada along with Amasic and Andee as a part of the celebrations of today’s Canada Day. Before getting on the plane to Brampton, Chuck instagramed a picture of himself and David from the airport lounge. Check it out:
Just like every year, the charitable organization Omnium Gervais-Talbot, founded by two Canadian hockey players – Max Talbot (Colorado Avalanche) and Bruno Gervais (Adirondack Phantoms), held a charitable golf tournament at the Gold St-Hyacinthe golf club in St-Hyacinthe, Quebec. And just like last year, all the profits from the event will be going to the Simple Plan Foundation, which meant that of course the members of the band were also present at the event.
The day started with a golf tournament that Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan took part in, because being a drummer didn’t allow him to be a part of the acoustic performance of his band, so he wanted to be involved in a different way. The rest of the band joined him during the evening and all of them were (just like last year) handed a cheque for $50 000 for their Foundation on behalf of Omnium Gervais-Talbot.
Pictures from yesterday’s event ca alreay be found in the gallery. You’ll notice that David seems to be wearing an orthotics on his right arm; however that didn’t seem to be in way of him performing that evening with the band, so fans who’ll be attending the upcoming concerts of Simple Plan don’t need to fret.
Below you can check out one of the videos from the Simple Plan concert:
The newly released interview with Pierre from ‚Ça commence bien’ included a couple of pictures from the Reset reunion, including a picture of the whole original line-up that performed at the reunion – that is Pierre, Phil, Chuck and David. Check it out in the gallery along with a couple of other new pics from the show:
Big thanks to Luigi for sending me the link to the full recorded show of Reset from their reunion at Amnesia Rockfest a few days ago. In the 45 minute set the band played 11 songs in total (which I have updated in the setlist from that show). Interestingly enough, Reset even played “Friend” which is thought to be a song written by Pierre about Chuck after his departure from the band.
The video was taken with a gopro so you can see the Reset show from a whole different perspective. Enjoy:
