The last day of June was also the day of the very last Simple Plan show for a little while. Simple Plan performed in Newfoundland and all the way from England they were once again joined by their European guitar tech, who you also know as the lead singer of The Bottom Line – Callum Amies.

The band celebrated the final show before heading home for a couple of weeks of some well-deserved time off by partying and as you will be able to see from the following video, they had a really good time. At one point, the two lead singers – Pierre and Callum – even joined to sing along to Blink 182’s classic – ‘All The Small Things’. Check it out on the videos below, published on Pierre’s Instagram Stories:

Simple Plan celebrate Callum Amies’ birthday on stage in Pratteln

by Dominika | Jun 4th, 2017 | no comments

After Rock Am Ring, Simple Plan headed to Pratteln, Switzerland yesterday, to perform another show which is a part of their No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls 15th anniversary tour. Many international fans gathered there to witness this concert and enjoy yet another stunning show. And what a show it was indeed!

Loud crowd, great atmosphere, untied shoelaces someone tripped over (right, Pierre?) – all that was a part of the show at the local Konzertfabrik Z7 Bleibt venue. But that wasn’t all of it. Since it was their new technician’s Callum Amies’ (who you better know as the lead singer of The Bottom Line) 25th birthday that day, the guys first wished him all the best at soundcheck and then took the time to do it again in a much bigger way – right in the middle of their own show. Check out their Instagram story from this moment below:

Of course, as this concert was a part of the No Pads tour, Simple Plan went from the festival setlist back to the classic No Pads setlist, which we’ve already seen in Berlin and Hamburg. Check it out below:

1. I’d Do Anything
2. The Worst Day Ever
3. You Don’t Mean Anything
4. I’m Just A Kid
5. When I’m With You
6. Meet You There
7. Addicted
8. My Alien
9. God Must Hate Me
10. I Won’t Be There
11. One Day
12. Grow Up
13. Perfect

Encore:
14. Shut Up!
15. Jump
16. Boom
17. Your Love Is A Lie
18. Summer Paradise
19. Crazy
20. Welcome To My Life

And it wouldn’t be a complete review of the show, if you couldn’t look through some of the first pictures from this show, which are now available in the SimplePlan.cz gallery:

Callum Amies (The Bottom Line) to guitar tech for Simple Plan on European tour

by Dominika | May 22nd, 2017 | 2 comments


It looks like a familiar face will be joining Simple Plan’s crew on the upcoming European tour that kicks off in Berlin, Germany this Sunday! Yes – you read correctly – Callum Amies, the lead singer of the British band The Bottom Line – will be stepping in as Simple Plan’s guitar tech – or more specifically the guitar tech for David and Jeff.

The Bottom Line have previously toured with Simple Plan twice on both European tours in 2016 (March & May) and over that time have managed to create a very good relationship with the members of SP. This time around, The Bottom Line will be joining Simple Plan on tour again, for three shows of this European tour: Berlin, Hamburg and London. According to Callum’s words, he is to be “gone on tour” for about 4 weeks, so it seems he will be teching on the whole European tour.

You can remind yourselves of Callum by reading the interview SimplePlan.cz did with him last year.

Max Ellis (The Bottom Line): “Touring with Simple Plan was beyond anything we’ve ever done before.”

European Simple Plan fans surely still have the British band The Bottom Line in their memory, as they famously opened for Simple Plan on both parts of their European tour in 2016 and managed to win the hearts of many SP fans there. Max Ellis, the bassist and vocalist of The Bottom Line, recently gave an interview to Lizzie’s Lowdown, in which he spoke very highly of his band’s times on the road with Simple Plan.

Check out the parts of the interview, where Max discusses SP below:

Last year you toured with one of the biggest names in pop punk Simple Plan, how did that feel?
Amazing. We were absolutely privileged to be on their tour and they are such legit, down to earth guys. The shows were beyond anything we’ve ever done before. Also, to be invited back onto the second leg of the ‘Taking One For The Team’ tour just because they enjoyed our show & company so much blew us away.

If you could tour with any band/artist who would be it and why?
I think this varies for all of us, but the names that usually pop up are New Found Glory, Neck Deep, Sum 41, Blink 182 & of course, another tour with our boys in Simple Plan. Personally I would say Blink, I was (still am) obsessed with them growing up & that’s been my dream tour for as long as I can remember.
