Recap of the last few days

Our Simple Plan boys are still in the studio in Vancouver, Canada, recording album #4 (yet untitled – but as we know SP, they will come up with the title minutes before the deadline). So let’s take some time to recap what’s been going on in the past few days:

The guys have already completed two songs from the upcoming album – that means (about) 10 songs to go – even though some of them are partially recorded already. As I have mentioned in the last post, one of the 60 songs that the guys wrote for the new album, leaked online yesterday as a demo version – the song is called “Famous For Nothing” (the song-title has been a general knowledge for a couple of months now, though). Famous For Nothing is about the so-called “celebrities”, who can’t really do anything are literally are just famous for nothing at all (Chuck confessed to be inspired by the stars of shows like “Jersey Shore” or “The Hills”).

Ever since being leaked, “Famous For Nothing” elicited very diverse reactions among the fans: of course there were those who didn’t like the song very much, but there were also fans who loved it. Important message to all of the fans from the SP guys is though that the song will NOT make it to the album – according to Pierre we should be looking forward to much better songs!

Aaaand speaking of very important news… here are some not so important, but definitely interesting (for some) ones: the guys celebrated Chuck’s birthday the day before (casue during his birthday they were locked in the studio working their butts off) in the Goldfish restaurant in Vancouver, Jeff started practising yoga and Sebastien loves the new Weezer record – Hurley – and also wrote another song along with his friend/musician Katie Rox.

And in my opinion it would not be a proper “recap of the last few days” if it didn’t include a gallery update. So, make sure to head over to the SimplePlan.cz gallery to check out the new photos from the studio, and then also thanks to CSP.com pictures from one party from this year, where you can spot Pierre with his friends, then also photos from the band’s afterparty from back in 2008 and last but not the least the pool party pictures from (what i believe it’s) the year 2008, which so far have been seen only very hugely tagged:

News from the studio

After the return from two festivals in Europe, the guys from Simple Plan headed back to Canada – particularly to Vancouver, where they continue to record their 4th studio album. According to Jeff, the band should stay in the studio at least for another month and half (and the album is still scheduled to be released sometimes in spring 2011).

In the gallery you can now check out photos from the studio, which were taken by Jeff yesterday:

Photos from Two Days A Week Festival

Finally here we have some more photos from the Two Days A Week Festival, where Simple Plan performed and which took place on September 3rd in Wiesen, Austria. Apart from the updated album with photos from the SP show, you can also find in our gallery pictures from the meet&greet with the band and pics of fans with the band members from the afternoon of the same day (thanks to SP.hu):

Snippet of the songs from Seb’s new EP

Sebastien posted on his MySpace a snippet of the songs that are going to be featured on his next – second EP (the first one was called “You Are Here / Vous Etes Ici”). So far, most of the released songs were promoted under the cover art you can see in the left corner and under the title “Et Les Robots”, which may be the title of the new EP.

The sneak peaks from the new EP in the form of a 5-minutes-long audio can be found here.

By the way, thank to Vero for letting us know about the first photos of Simple Plan from the Two Days A Week Festival:

I-Day Festival – first photos

As I have promised you, I’ve got a huge pack of pictures from Saturday, when Simple Plan played at the I-Day Festival in Bologna, Italy, for you. Interesting fact: About 35 000 people came to see the performances of The Leeches, All Time Low, Simple Plan, Sum 41 and Blink 182 at this festival.

About 4pm, the SP Crew meet&greet took place in the “hospitality area”. You can already check out my pictures from the meet&greet in the gallery, along with professional pictures of Simple Plan from backstage and from the show itself. I should be receiving many more pictures from the meet&greet soon, so I’ll keep you posted:

Oh, and here is a little something for all of you :) (btw I know that Chuck’s signature is missing, I have no idea how it happened :D)
