Simple Plan wins NRJ Music Award for frankophone duo of the year!


At tonight’s annual NRJ Awards in Cannes, France, Simple Plan and Marie-Mai won in the category “Francophone duo/band of the year” for their collaboration on the French version of the song Jet Lag that is featured on Simple Plan’s latest album “Get Your Heart On!”! On behalf of the whole band, Pierre, David and Marie-Mai accepted the award. Immediately after the win, Pierre tweeted: “We won!!!! SP fans you’re the best. Love you so much!” Below you can check out the first pictures of Pierre and David posing alongside Marie-Mai with their brand new NRJ Music Award:

It is important to add that Simple Plan have only been nominated to an NRJ Music Award once before – in 2007 – but only the 2012’s award is their first official win.

Vlog from Singapore

Simple Plan have recently visited Singapore and during their stay there, Sim recorded another vlog from the Asian tour, capturing the boys’ arrival and the awesome concert they played there. Check it out:

The highs and lows of interviews from Asia

Simple Plan are having a marvellous time on their current tour across Asia and while the guys are kicking off the Japanese leg of the tour, let’s get back to the previous shows a bit and talk about the interviews the guys have made in the recent days.

You may have noticed I do not post many Simple Plan interviews here on SimplePlan.cz and rather focus on other stuff. One of the reasons why is that (as I’ve mentioned in my own interview with Simple Plan), the questions the reporters are asking the band just keep repeating themselves and therefore if you’re that kind of a fan who likes to keep track of all the interviews, after a while most of them start to seem repetitive and pointless.

So, instead, what I’m trying to do, is to show you those interviews that actually posess that certain spark that makes an interview either really good… or really bad – yes, I do believe even the slightly worse interviews tend to have a little spark and hilarity hidden somewhere deep inside (e.g. the legendary interview from Russia). :). As an exhibit A, feel free to compare the following two, which were done with Chuck and Sebastien in the last couple of days:

Vlog: Kuala Lumpur

Simple Plan continue to tour Asia and while they just finished their stay in Indonesia and are currently heading to Japan, Sim just posted a new vlog from this tour, particularly from Malaysia, where the guys performed in Kuala Lumpur a couple days ago. Don’t miss it!

Live version of Jet Lag feat. Tantri Kotak

Simple Plan’s opening band on yesterday’s concert in Jakarta, Indonesia, was the local band called Kotak of which you have already heard because of the recent collaboration they did with Simple Plan, when they recorded their version of the official music video for the song Jet Lag. And since Kotak was opening, t was clear that the fans could expect a live version of this collaboration as well. Last night, Simple Plan performed Jet Lag alongside the female singer of the band – Tantri Kotak. Check out below how this collaboration worked out:
