Simple Plan hang out with TOTALFAT and Tonight Alive

Yesterday when at the Osaka edition of the Punkspring festival (that continues today in Tokyo, Japan), the members of Simple Plan also took the time to hang out a little bit with their fellow musicians, who were also on the line-up of this festival.

From the pictures that Shun, one of the members of the Japanese melodic hardcore band TOTALFAT, posted, you can see him hanging out with Pierre and David from Simple Plan and in the picture with Pierre you can even spot Chuck talking to Jenna McDougall, the lead singer of Tonight Alive, who Simple Plan toured with in Australia in 2011.

Check out the photos below:

VIDEO: Pierre and David sing Friends’ theme song with Jenna McDougall (Tonight Alive)

Channel V recently aired a documentary series called “Road Trippin'” with a special all about Warped Tour Australia that took place in 6 Australian cities in November and December of 2013, featuring bands like The Offspring, Simple Plan or Tonight Alive. Jenna McDougall, the lead singer of Tonight Alive actually co-hosted the documentary/special with Channel V’s presenter Danny Clayton – and during the half an hour video she shows him around places in between two of the festival dates and also introduces him to some bands she’s already befriended on Warped Tour.

Two of these people were David and Pierre from Simple Plan, who you can check out at mark 14:32 of the video, who’s interview backstage with Danny Clayton eventually turned out to be a Friends’ theme song sing-a-long. Check it out:

Perth show review: Simple Plan performed Lucky One live

Yesterday afternoon, after a long flight across the whole Australia, Simple Plan landed in Perth, where they were scheduled to do the only off-Warped show this year. But before we get to the show itself, let’s check out what the guys have been up to before that.

Earlier that day Chuck and Pierre visited the 92.9 radio station in Perth, where they talked about their new EP and played a little game that Chuck called “worst interview game he’s played in his entire life”. You can go and listen to it here (Simple Plan come up at mark 12:45). After that, Chuck and Pierre went to play golf, in which Chuck won and then they came back to the venue for the soundcheck that some of the Simple Plan fans got to attend. After the soundcheck, Seb and Chuck took over the @WarpedAu Twitter account and answered many of the fans’ questions.

Here you can see some pictures from the backstage and from the soundcheck:

In the evening, everything for ready for Simple Plan to rock another show in Australia. This time once again with Tonight Alive as their opening band, who’s lead singer Jenna McDougall eventually joined SP on stage for “Jet Lag”. One of the biggest surprises for the Perth fans was that since Simple Plan has a chance to finally soundcheck before the show, they could practise one of their new songs: Lucky One and perform it during the concert. Check out the first couple of pictures that already made their way online:
