CONFIRMED: Original members of Reset to reunite at Montebello Rockfest!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 14. March 2018 | 1 comment

Earlier this year SimplePlan.cz first brought you the initial information that Reset, the band that many members of Simple Plan previously played in, would be reuniting at this year’s Montebello Rockfest in Canada. However back then this information was only based on Phil Joliceour’s announcement that fans may look forward to yet another Reset reunion soon.

Today however, Montebello Rockfest has announced all the acts that will be taking part in its 13th edition this year – in Montebello, QC from June 14th to 16th and the Reset reunion has now been officially confirmed.

According to the information provided by the festival, Reset will be appearing with its original members – including the members of Simple Plan. Last time Reset reunited at the Rockfest back in 2014, all three former Reset members that are now in Simple Plan – Pierre, Chuck and David – appeared on stage together alongside their former Reset bandmates. We can almost guarantee that Chuck and Pierre will be there for this 90s throwback, but given the unknown status of David’s recovery, it is unclear right now whether he will be appearing as well or not.

Besides Reset, Montebello Rockfest will be offering many other stellar acts on their lineup including Weezer, All Time Low, Rage Against The Machine, Sum 41, Jimmy Eat World, Rancid, The Used and many more!

Reset to reunite with its original members this year!

If you’re a fan of Simple Plan, surely you’re heard of the band Reset before. Reset was founded in 1993 and at some point in time three members of Simple Plan made some of their first music-related memories in this band. Pierre and Chuck were the founding members of Reset and David later replaced Pierre after his departure from the band – not for long, though, just a few months later he left the band also to join the Reset-renegades in the newly started band Simple Plan. After all these years, Reset’s fanbase is still going pretty strong and it is them who can start getting very excited about this year!

Philippe Jolicoeur, Reset’s lead singer, guitarist and only remaining founding member, announced yesterday that there is some very good news coming up for Reset in 2018, while also posting the reunion picture from Amnesia Rockfest 2014 featuring himself, Pierre, David and Chuck. Philippe also confirmed that a reunion with the original members of Reset is tied to this good news.

Many fans are speculating that the original members could repeat their last reunion, which took place in 2014 at the Amnesia Rockfest festival in Quebec. The festival has since renamed Montobello Rockfest and will be taking place from June 14th to June 16th 2018 in Montobello, QC.

Whether the band will perform at Montobello Rockfest and whether David, who’s been absent from Simple Plan’s tours for almost a year now, will be a part of this reunion, is currently unknown. Keep checking back for more info!

Remind yourselves of the music video for Reset’s song ‘My Dream And I’, which is very specific for its use of Pierre Bouvier’s vocals in its recording, but with David Desrosiers playing the role of the waiter in the video. The two have however never been in Reset together at the same time:

Simple Plan’s sound engineer Frank Joly recenly did some digging through old photo albums, when he stumbled upon an a photograph of David Desrosiers taken in the year 2000, when he toured with Reset.

In this picture, we can see a 20-year-old David smiling while he plays the bass for Reset, where he replaced Pierre. The picture was quite possibly taken just a few months before he eventually joined the original members of Reset – Pierre and Chuck – and their other two friends Seb and Jeff – in their new project: Simple Plan.

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:

David performed with RESET at a festival in Rimouski

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.
