Enter Shikari about Simple Plan at Aerodrome: ‘They were fantastic!’

Almost a month has passed already since June 11th, when the one-day Aerodrome Festival took place in Prague, Czech Republic. This festival offered a quite extraordinary line-up, featuring acts such as Counterfeit, Mallory Knox (didn’t perform in the end), Royal Republic, Enter Shikari, Machine Gun Kelly, Simple Plan and Linkin Park.

MonsterMusic spoke to Rou Reynolds, the lead vocalist for Enter Shikari and also the band’s drummer Rob Rolfe and in this interview, the two members of Enter Shikari among other information also revealed how they felt about some of the acts on this festival in Prague. Check out what they thought of Simple Plan below:

Rou: “We’re really sorry about what happened to Mallory Knox. They are our friends and we played with them just a little while ago, so it’s a great shame they couldn’t perform.”
Rob: “I watched the Royal Republic performance, they played before us and they were amazing.”
Rou: “And Simple Plan were also fantastic.”

SP for TV Óčko: “Prague has become one of our favorite European destinations!”

Besides SimplePlan.cz and Evropa 2, Simple Plan also did an interview for DNES.cz/TV Óčko at the recent Aerodrome Festival in Prague, Czech Republic, which has now been released online. Check out what Chuck and Seb had to say about the Czech Republic, its fans and find out which member of the band is often in charge of booking tours (three guesses who!):

Update: IDNES.cz also published the full (8-minutes-long) version of this inteview, which is unfortunately dubbed. You may be able to hear some of the English parts of the interview though, if you listen carefully. Check it out below:

EXCLUSIVE: New SimplePlan.cz interview with Chuck and Seb from Aerodrome Festival

This past Sunday, June 11th, when Simple Plan returned to the Czech Republic – for the Aerodrome Festival, I got to sit down with Chuck Comeau and Seb Lefebvre from Simple Plan (a.k.a. our already established interview duo) backstage and talk to them about a number of interesting topics.

We discussed some questions regarding the current No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls 15th anniversary tour and while talking about the first record, we also delved into the subject of the recording process of this album, which is when the boys revealed some more interesting tidbits from their work with Arnold Lanni. The topic of the future of Simple Plan was also on the table – whether it was regarding the upcoming 6th SP album and how long the process of making it may last, regarding the next live DVD or Chuck’s “pop-punkumentary” Resurgence.

I’d like to take this time to thank Simple Plan for taking the time to answer all my questions again, especially Chuck for helping to arrange the interview. Big thank you also goes to Coalition Music management and the Aerodrome Festival promoters for making this interview happen.

Please forgive the slightly disturbing background noise, which was caused by the on-going festival (and Machine Gun Kelly starting his set right in the middle of our interview). I will be adding both Czech and English subtitles to the interview very soon.

So finally, here’s the sixth SimplePlan.cz interview with the members of Simple Plan. Enjoy:
