A couple days ago, SimplePLan.cz was the first to inform about David Desrosiers’ guest appearance at the Reset show at Underground Fest in Rimouski, QC, which took place last Friday, December 30th.
A new video has now surfaced online, which provides us a much better look at David performing with Reset, as it was shot from side-stage.
Check out David playing the bass with Reset for ‘My Dream And I’ and ‘Pollution’ and also singing a bit as well:
In a new video segment recently published on the YouTube channel of TV Óčko, the popular Czech music TV channel included pieces of their best interviews of 2016 – with artists that visited the Czech Republic over the course of the year – including those with Twenty One Pilots, Bastille and of course Simple Plan (and others).
Check out the recap video below, which features a short shout-out to TV Óčko from Chuck and Sebastien (the full interview by TV Óčko, taken before the Simple Plan show in Prague on March 3rd 2016 can be watched here):
On December 30th 2016, the current formation of the band Reset was headlining the Underground Fest in Rimouski, QC, Canada. Reset were to perform mostly their old school hits from the No Worries and No Limits era. That is also precisely the era when some current members of Simple Plan were in starting out in this band (firstly Pierre and Chuck, who co-founded the band, and after Chuck’s and later on also Pierre’s departure, it was David who came to the rescue for a short time, before the then-starting-out Simple Plan snatched him to be in a band with them – see the full Reset history here).
Ahead of the start of the festival, it had been advertised that there would be a surprise waiting for the attendees of the festival and that surprise came true in a form of one of the former members of Reset rejoining them on stage – David Desrosiers from Simple Plan. This was David’s first public appearance ever since Simple Plan announced he wouldn’t be joining them on the South American tour due to personal reasons.
At the Underground fest, which was attended by about 50 people, David showed up around the time the last two bands of that night were supposed to play (including Reset) and eventually performed two songs with Reset – ‘My Dream And I’ and ‘Pollution’.
Check out some videos of David back on stage with Reset this past Friday below:
The last time we witnessed the members of Simple Plan reunite with their old bandmates from Reset was in 2014 when they performed a whole set at Amnesia Rockfest in June 2014.
My collegue Bruno from Simple Plan Brazil had the opportunity to interview Chuck and Jeff from Simple Plan, while the band was in Brazil a few weeks ago.
In his well-researched interview, Bruno asked the boys some very interesting questions regarding the change of the album cover of SP’s self-titled album, their thoughts about sharing their personal lives online, actual vacation plans that don’t include touring etc.
