Um, if anyone saw that Gonna Meet a Rock Star with OLP...
Can anyone tell me about that tour? Was it OLP who started it? Who else was on the tour? I am just curious.

Summersault was a festival that OLP started in 1998 to bring lesser known bands across Canada that might not be able to paly other wise. That year they only did 4 shows and if memory serves me right it had

Fuel, esthero, harvey danger, Eve 6 and a few bands I can't remeber on the second stage
main stage was I Mother Earth, Grand harvas(or however ther name was spelled) Johnny swing jazz, Garbage(one of the main reasons besides OLP that I went), OLP and Crystal method

the did another one in 2000 that went acoss Canada.

this one had
2nd stage:
Finger 11, Cahterine Wheel, SUm41(look how huge those kids are now), Eve6,

Main Stage:
Perfect Circle, Deftones, Foo Fighters,Treble Charger, Smashing Pumpkins and OLP.

the started it up as a way to bring lesser bands across canada.

Will there be another Summersault. Who knows. I think they are concentrating on their own tours now, because as they have said it is a massive undertaking to plan the whoel thing. But who knows maybe 2003 will have one. :love:

Like Gail said, it was when Sum 41 was not known and not popular at all.

That was crazy. I remember looking up their stuff (Sum 41) online because I'd never heard of them before SS00. Now they're all over everything all the time..............

i remember i got half hour of power for $2.99 at tower records way back when. im not the biggest fan of it, but i really like 'makes no difference' so it was worth it.

wow, they used to not suck before?

Damn you OLP, why do you have to be so damn cool? :wtf:

Like, I doubt they are the richest and most powerful people but they still went together and got all these bands together. Amazing.

Thats why I luv OLP. :love:

Well Teelo, you have to admit that OLP is the most popular Canadian band over the past 5 years. In Canada, anything they put out is instant platinum, so them putting on a tour in Canada is like N*Sync grabbing a bunch of pop acts in America and going on a festival tour.
