Happy Birthday my two Homies;

So, it's my two favourite celeb's birthdays. Yeah, notice the s behind birthdays. That's because they fall tow days in a row. 9th May and 10th May.

9th May 1980. Pierre Bouvier.

Ladies, meet Pierre Charles Bouvier, a.k.a. Pie. He's the frontman of Canadian pop-punk band Simple Plan and has been my very first exposure to real music. (I like stuff like Birtney Spears and M2M back then. ick.) I started liking Simple Plan in 2005 when I was flipping through channels and decided to pause on their first single's music video 'Perfect'. It was pretty ironic at first because I was going on about how much they sucked before I watched it. So yeah. Since then, my obsession towards Simple Plan started. I remember driving my parents and friends to insanity because of my 'obsession' and then realised that it was pretty dumb so I decided to tone down abit in 2006.
Simple Plan has taken me to my very first show and has made it the best night of my life. Honestly, not even giving my 1000 million dollars can make it better. I had the time of my life and I have my parents to thank for that. Besides that, Simple Plan gave me a wake up call after I came back from their show on the 29th of March 2005. You see, the very next day I was having my mid-term exams and it was math. And I almost totally failed it. So, I took that as a wake up call for my math and since then I decided to work a little harder on math. So yeah.
Pierre turns 27 this year, (talk about old) and is currently at the recording studio with fellow bandmates recording their 3rd studio album which is due in stores somewhere in June to July 2007.

10th May 1983. Joey Zehr.

Now turn your attention to Mr. Joesph David Zehr, a.k.a. J0Jo Bear. Joey is the drummer of American Power-Pop band The Click Five and is my hero. You see, aside from Simple Plan, The Click Five is my other craving, which ties for the first spot in my top 100 favourite bands. Since 2005 when The Click Five emerged, I had this thing for them. It didn't catch my attention at first, when their first single 'Just The Girl' hit the media world. But when 'Catch Your Wave' came into the spotlight, I realised my craving towards them, and Mr. Zehr. In December 2006, when my friend Michelle went to America, she was nice enough to buy me my very first Click Five album, and my very first imported CD, which contained their trading card, which made me feel a pang of specialty and pride because noone else I knew had it. I wouldn't have gotten it if I bought it from those pirated CD sellers in the night market.
The Click Five had their 'Catch Your Wave' promo tour here in Malaysia last year. I didn't get to go see them. It wasn't because I didn't have a ticket, because the show was an 'invite only' show, it was because of the unfortunate event after the Simple Plan show. And yes, I was devistated. Very very much. There was one point where I considered sneaking out to watch them. But then I told myself that the guys would be back in a couple of years and I'd get to go watch them then. And I'm right. The Click Five will be back at the end of the year with new frontman Kyle Patrick, and I get to go because it's after my SPM examinations.
Joey Zehr turns 24 this year, only a couple years younger than Pierre. The Click Five have almost finised their 2nd studio album, Modern Minds and Past Times which is due in stores on the 26th of June this year. I can not wait to get it. Right now The Click Five are having a fans appreciation tour in the United States, promoting their upcoming album. I so wish I was there. :/

I didn't get to write about them on their birthdays because I was having my mid-terms. So, happy belated birthday to you guys, you're getting old. ha. :]
