PHOTOS: Simple Plan on Top Musique and En Mode Salvail + new scoops

For Canadian Simple Plan fans, it was basically like Christmas yesterday as the whole band appeared on two evening shows on local TV channels. First, the members of Simple Plan dropped by at MusiquePlus, where they were interviewed for the “Top Musique” show and a couple hours later the guys headed to the Tele V studios for Eric Salvail’s “En Mode Salvail” show, where they also performed acoustically.

Check out the first picturs from the taping of both of the shows. Also, notice Chuck picking up the bass guitar on En Mode Salvail :)

As soon as the videos from the shows are anywhere available for watching, I will let you know. In the meantime, here’s two more scoops:

1. On Ca Commence Bien yesterday Chuck confirmed that the EP should be released either at the end of November or beginning of December and should include the final count of 7 songs in total (thanks Emelie and Charbel for letting me know).

2. While some fans expressed their disappointment with the more “poppy” sound of the newly released song, Chuck was quick to respond and not to judge the EP by one song and that the next (fifth) Simple Plan record should have more rock songs on it.

Simple Plan premiered a brand new song “The Rest Of Us” on Ca Commence Bien

Very surprisingly, during the previously announced appearance of Chuck and Sebastien at their friend’s Patrick Langlois’ morning TV show “Ca Commence Bien”, the boys exclusively premiered a brand new song from their upcoming (yet untitled) EP – “The Rest Of Us”.

Check out the preview here:

Me and Viola tried to write down the lyrics of this preview, so here’s the latest version. Please feel free to hit me up with any corrections!

O-oh! I know I am not alone
So turn the music up and let go
Here’s to the rest of us
To all the ones that never felt
They were good enough
I wanna hear it for the chased and confused
The freaks and the losers
Let’s point them out
Here’s to the rest of us

And below you can check out a picture of Seb and Chuck at Ca Commence Bien this morning:

Also, according to Chuck and Seb, the two are apparently working on “one more surprise for the end of the month” in the MOTH studio right now for Idobi radio. Any guesses on what that might be about? :)

Photos and video from Seb’s recent radio and TV appearances

To promote the Foundation’s upcoming benefit event that will take place in Montreal’s Corona theatre on November 12th, Sebastien visited a few radio and TV programmes in the past few days to spread the word about the event. Check out some more pictures from Seb’s visit of the CKOI radio station and also a brand new picture from BTV Montreal:

And speaking of BTV Montreal, make sure to watch the whole short interview with Sebastien there via the video below:

Sebastien’s appearance at CKOI 96.9: “EP will be released before Xmas!”

This evening, Sebastien Lefebvre paid a visit to a Montreal-based radio station – CKOI 96.9 to talk mostly about the band’s upcoming annual benefit event for the Simple Plan Foundation. Thanks to Sab you can check out a little recap of what Sebastien talked about:

– since Coeur de Pirate (who co-wrote Jet Lag) will be present at the Simple Plan Foundation event, Seb said she might be joining them and finally sing it live

– Simple Plan are currently writing songs for a new (5th) album

EP will be released before Christmas

The last piece of information is very interesting at even though the release date is still to be determined (according to Chuck it should be this week), so far we only knew it was sometimes before the end of 2013 but the releasing the EP before Christmas could mean that perhaps we could be getting a new Simple Plan Christmas song!

And while we still wait for confirmation of that, make sure to check out a picture of Sebastien with the radio hosts from CKOI that was taken this evening:

PHOTOS: Simple Plan meeting their fans

In the past few days I have received a couple of pictures from many fans who have met Simple Plan and took photos with them. So you can now check out pictures of SP meeting their fans in Vienna (2013) thanks to Klara, Zdenka and Alenka, in Vancover (2012) thanks to Heloisa, in Ottawa, at Canada Day and at the SPF event (all 2012) thanks to Jennifer, in Stockholm (2012) thanks to Emelie and finally in Newcastle (2012) thanks to Brett.
