The Alternative Press Music Awards took place last night, July 22nd, in Cleveland, Ohio and the most of the alternative scene was there: from New Found Glory to All Time Low. And of course, our boys from Simple Plan were there as well – attending the red carpet, being nominated for the Artist Philantrophic award and also perfroming later that night.
And while unfortunately Simple Plan did not win the award (as it went to Taking Back Sunday), the guys enjoyed whole evening quite a lot. On the red carpet, the band members gave a lot of interviews (that are surely coming up in the next few days), took lots of photos and by the end of the night the guys were even one of the world-wide trending topics on Twitter! Check out the APMAS gallery album with the first photos that pop up online (more HQ ones will be coming soon!):
Later on during the evening, Simple Plan were introduced by Memphis May Fire as “[a band that] played a big role in keeping pop-punk alive”. On the APMAS stage, Simple Plan performed three songs in total: “I’d Do Anything”, “Boom” and also a cover version of MXPX’s “Responsibility” featuring Mike Herrera from MXPX. Check out the whole performance on the video below:
