The third (and final) installment of the “La fraternité du rock” book series by France Gosselin, entitled “La fraternité du rock: Radio rebelle” (In translation: ‘The Brotherhood of Rock: Rebel Radio’), which follows the journey of a young man called Canisse, who’d dream is to become a drummer in a rock band, is set to be released on September 16th – and it will feature a group of characters we’re quite familiar with over here at SimplePlan.cz!
Indeed – the members of Simple Plan will play an important role as characters in the plot of this youth novel. According to the interview for Journal de Quebec with France Gosselin, the author of the book, the Simple Plan plot of the story was inspired by her meeting with the band at Festivent in 2015.
According to the author’s words, the members of Simple Plan have already been given the book and approved of the passages featuring their band.
A small reference to Simple Plan is also made on the cartoon cover of the book, in which one of the characters can be seen sporting an “SP” hat.
And that’s not where Simple Plan’s involvement with the book ends – Chuck Comeau not only invited the author to the band’s upcoming show in Quebec City, but even offered to pen the preface for the book. According to Chuck, the book reminds him of the times when his on band was just starting out in his parents’ basement.
A brand new book called “Chefs de familie” by Émilie Villeneuve and Clémence Risler that’s coming out tomorrow, April 9th 2015, focuses on the culinary practices of 20 personalities from the Quebec restaurant scene in their private lives – how they prepare meals for their children, what sort of dishes they tend to cook for their families etc.
