SIMPLE PLAN
CAMDEN TAKEOVER – JANUARY 27 2008
World-conquering Canadians Simple Plan are set to take over Camden Town as they play three shows in one day on January 27th 2008. Kicking off proceedings at The Barfly, the band will then head to The Underworld before ending their triple gig-fest at The Electric Ballroom.
Treating fans at the Barfly to a 30 minute set of songs taken from their 2002 debut smash No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls, the band will then give 2004’s Still Not Getting Any the unplugged treatment with an acoustic set at the Underworld. The closing show at the Electric Ballroom will be a full-on, plugged-in electric performance.
Their reputation for explosive live sets - a contagious mix of irresistible hits and high energy crowd interaction - guarantees these shows will be one of hottest tickets of 2008. They are the band’s first UK dates since a triumphant sell-out tour in 2006 which included two shows at London’s Astoria.
Simple Plan have sold in excess of 7 million records worldwide. They return with their eponymous album on February 18 2008 through Lava/Atlantic Records. The album is preceded by the single ‘When I’m Gone’ on February 4 (physical release February 11).
Simple Plan sees the irrepressible quintet teaming up with a truly unique line-up of production talent, including Dave Fortman (Evanescence, Mudvayne), Danjahandz (T.I., Timbaland, Justin Timberlake), and Max Martin (Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne). The result is the band’s most inventive, genre-defying collection to date - a blend of classic punk energy and modern pop sonics that’s both utterly distinctive and deliriously entertaining. Simple Plan is the band’s fourth album, following 2002’s “No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls”, 2004’s follow-up, “Still Not Getting Any”, and 2005’s “MTV Hard Rock Live”.
