AUTHOR: Dominika | 19. November 2014 | no comments

It’s already become a tradition that every year, Simple Plan Foundation’s benefit event includes a silent auction, where the attendees have a chance to bid on very interesting items and experiences and help the cause at the same time.

Simple Plan have just revealed a part of the items which will be available at this year’s event, which will take place in Montreal this Sunday. Check them out:

  • A signed Maroon 5 guitar
  • Signed All Time Low item
  • Signed Montreal Canadiens Jersey
  • Signed poster from The 1975
  • Signed items from Marie Mai
  • Limited edition Puma shoes
  • Dinner with Simple Plan at Muscadin restaurant in Montreal

Update:

Chuck confirmed that another item to be auctioned off at the Simple Plan Foundation benefit event will be one of Mark Hoppus’ bass guitars, which has been signed by this member of Blink-182 and donated by him to this cause. Check out a picture of this bass:

Simple Plan to write songs with Alex Gaskarth and Mark Hoppus!

Looks like Simple Plan are really trying to get back to their roots with their next album. I mean, if you add one member of Blink-182, one member of All Time Low and two members of Simple Plan, you surely have a recipe for an instant pop-punk hit. And believe it or not, that is exactly what’s happening today: Pierre jumped on Instagram this morning, where he revealed that him and Chuck will be song-writing with the legend that is Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 and Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low. It can’t get any more pop-punk than this, now, can it?

Mark Hoppus later confirmed this with a tweet written in French, saying: “Yes, I am writing a song with Simple Plan today so I’m learning French-Canadian. I am the best. Thank you.”

Simple Plan have previous relations to both of these musicians. Mark Hoppus knew the guys from Simple Plan even back when they were in Reset and was one of the first people who got to hear “I’d Do Anything” (which was according to Mark one of his “ten favorite songs of all time” at the time Chuck showed him the demo) and eventually got the offer from the SP guys to sing on it as well as be featured in the music video.

Alex Gaskarth has been a fan of Simple Plan for ever. At the Bamboozle Roadshow in 2010 Simple Plan’s and All Time Low’s paths crossed for the very first time and the members of both bands became very good friends which resulted in Alex Gaskarth singing on “Freaking Me Out” and All Time Low using a song initially just co-written by Pierre and Chuck from Simple Plan – “Time Bomb”. Since then the bands have performed together numerous times – most significantly at Simple Plan’s Canadian tour, where All Time Low were one of their opening bands.

What do YOU think of this collaboration?

A huge gallery update from Warped Tour

AUTHOR: Dominika | 30. July 2011 | no comments


Warped Tour is (at least for Simple Plan) coming to its end: today the band is about to perform for the last time for a little while on the American soil – on West Palm Beach. And from there the guys are heading back home for a couple of days to relax a bit before they start another few months of constant touring: this time in Asia and Europe.

Good news is I have finally updated the gallery with lots of most recent concert pictures from Warped Tour. And even though not all the dates are there yet, I think for start 300 pictures is not that bad. :) The link from the first thumbnail below will lead you to the whole category of 2011 concert pictures because there were just too many updated Warped Tour albums to list them all in here, so just feel free go through them by yourself. Next, I would also like to point out more pictures from Simple Plan’s visit in the New York City on June 21st (Get Your Heart On!’s release date) – and also their visit of Marka Hoppus’ show “Hoppus On Music”. And last but definitely not the least, make sure to check out one brand new photoshoot for Music Choice, also taken on the release day (thanks SPB.com).

First sneak peaks of Simple Plan on Mark Hoppus’ show

AUTHOR: Dominika | 24. June 2011 | 2 comments

On the day of their new album’s official release date (June 21st 2011) the guys from Simple Plan were very busy doing lots of promo work, playing their own show and also doing lots of interviews. One of the probably most interesting ones was done during their visit to the Marka Hoppus’ (Blink 182) show “Hoppus On Music”. Mark talked with the guys about their new album, asked why they have used Twitter to write This Song Saved My Life (and why not Chatroulette) and also discussed their fancy costumes on the album cover.

You can already check out the pictures from the recording of this show in the gallery and below you’ll find two first sneak peaks from Hoppus On Music, which invite the viewers for the whole show, which airs later today on FUSE TV.

New Simple Plan album to feature collaborations!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 4. November 2010 | 2 comments

Two days ago, Jeff revealed a pretty surprising news on his Twitter: “Tomorrow, we’re gonna have a really special visitor at the studio. I know, I’m a tease but i can’t say who it is yet.” And as you will find out in the translated article below, Simple Plan are really planning special collaborations featured on the new album.

If it’s a singer type-of collaboration, it would be the second Simple Plan album to include voices of other people than the Simple Plan members: you could have noticed few featurings on SP’s debut album “No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls”, where Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus does vocals on “I’d Do Anything” and the voice of Joel Madden from Good Charlotte can be heard on “You Don’t Mean Anything”.

Check out the whole article (which has been posted on Cyberpresse.ca) revealing the news about collaborations on the upcoming album below:

New plans for Simple Plan

This exclusive photo of Chuck Comeau, Pierre Bouvier, Jeff Stinco was taken two days ago in the recording studio in Vancouver. The five members of Simple Plan are currently putting the finishing touches on their fourth album, which is due early 2011.

Chuck (drummer) told me that the group had not yet found the title for this album but he told me anyway, exclusively, some song-titles that you can find on this new album: You Suck at Love, Astronaut and This Song Saved My Life. To pique your curiosity even more, you should know that Simple Plan will welcome special guests and will present surprising collaborations. Before the release of the album, the band’s fans will have the chance to hear excerpts of the record on November 14th, while the group will be giving an acoustic concert at Club Sportif MAA on Peel Street in Montreal to benefit their Simple Plan Foundation. The tickets are $100 per person. The event is a brunch for the whole family, and certainly for many, a concert that is priceless!

Who would YOU like to be featured on Simple Plan’s upcoming album?
