First videos from Canada Sings


On August 3rd, the Canadian TV station Global TV started airing its new original singing competition called Canada Sings, in which glee clubs created on various workplaces (e.g. Toronto ZOO) are competing against each other and after each performance their skills are judged by Jane Arden, Vanilla Ice and Pierre Bouvier from Simple Plan.

On the right side you can check out one new picture of Pierre from the promotional photoshoot for Canada Sings and below you can already find the first videos from the programme that Pierre with his colleagues pre-recorded a few months ago.

The video below includes a short interview with Pierre and his thoughts on the whole concept of Canada Sings and an invitation for Global TV’s viewers:

The next video is from Canada Sings itself: the host introduces the judges and also interviews each one a bit:

And finally you can judge Pierre’s judging skills by yourself in the following video that includes one of the glee club’s performance and the judge’s comments (Pierre’s part starts at 5:30):

A huge gallery update from Warped Tour


Warped Tour is (at least for Simple Plan) coming to its end: today the band is about to perform for the last time for a little while on the American soil – on West Palm Beach. And from there the guys are heading back home for a couple of days to relax a bit before they start another few months of constant touring: this time in Asia and Europe.

Good news is I have finally updated the gallery with lots of most recent concert pictures from Warped Tour. And even though not all the dates are there yet, I think for start 300 pictures is not that bad. :) The link from the first thumbnail below will lead you to the whole category of 2011 concert pictures because there were just too many updated Warped Tour albums to list them all in here, so just feel free go through them by yourself. Next, I would also like to point out more pictures from Simple Plan’s visit in the New York City on June 21st (Get Your Heart On!’s release date) – and also their visit of Marka Hoppus’ show “Hoppus On Music”. And last but definitely not the least, make sure to check out one brand new photoshoot for Music Choice, also taken on the release day (thanks SPB.com).

Check out all the upcoming Simple Plan tour dates

And what’s up with Simple Plan lately? The guys are still at Warped Tour touring the United States, where they’re getting very positive reviews from both: the fans and also the other bands. In the gallery you can now check out some more pictures from Warped Tour: from Pomona, CA (thanks to May) and from Mountain View, CA. Next, there are also scans from the Outzone Magazine, which include a really awesome new SP photoshoot and also a few more pictures from the New York City (Get Your Heart On release date):

Simple Plan back on Warped Tour!

The famous Vans’ Warped Tour, an American festival-kind-of-tour which brings about one hundred punk-rock, pop-rock, punk, rock and other bands on stages across the whole US every summer, has after many years welcomed back the Canadian band Simple Plan, who are definitely no newbies on this tour.

Back when Reset was around (Pierre’s and Chuck’s (and later David’s) first band) the guys were invited to play on Warped Tour and kept performing there even with their next band: Simple Plan. They haven’t missed a single tour from 1999 to 2005. After that they went on a little break surring summers: wrote music or played festivals/tours on other places in the world. But this year they are back on the American ground ready to rock Vans’ Warped Tour 2011 and keep rocking it almost till the end of July.

Simple Plan started off the tour with their kick-ass show in Dallas, Texas, where they performed the following setlist:

1. Shut Up!
2. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
3. I Gotta Feeling (Black Eyed Peas cover)
4. Jump
5. Thank You
6. Welcome To My Life
7. Loser Of The Year
8. Addicted
9. I’d Do Anything

It’s pretty clear why Simple Plan haven’t added any songs from their third album on the setlist and focused more on the songs from the first and the second album, plus adding some from Get Your Heart On! The reason is that Simple Plan’s self-titled record didn’t reach (by far) the success the previous records have and the promotion of this album in the States was very minimal. But now, with a new record on the horizon, the guys are trying to avoid making the same mistakes as last time and pay more attention to their US fans.

You can already check out the first pictures from the show in Dallas in the gallery:

And below you can check out a pretty cool video of Simple Plan’s performance of one of their new songs from Get Your Heart On! – Loser Of The Year, which they introduced to Dallas yesterday:

First sneak peaks of Simple Plan on Mark Hoppus’ show

On the day of their new album’s official release date (June 21st 2011) the guys from Simple Plan were very busy doing lots of promo work, playing their own show and also doing lots of interviews. One of the probably most interesting ones was done during their visit to the Marka Hoppus’ (Blink 182) show “Hoppus On Music”. Mark talked with the guys about their new album, asked why they have used Twitter to write This Song Saved My Life (and why not Chatroulette) and also discussed their fancy costumes on the album cover.

You can already check out the pictures from the recording of this show in the gallery and below you’ll find two first sneak peaks from Hoppus On Music, which invite the viewers for the whole show, which airs later today on FUSE TV.
