Came across this old blog post from George Stroumboulopoulos, a Canadian TV host/interviewer/personality, about MM's STL audition video going viral. The post is dated Sept. 26, 2011 and the last paragraph reads:
Although if this whole "Queen Extravanganza" thing breaks Martel's way - and you've got to think it will - Downhere might want to get ready for the impending "indefinite hiatus".

Whoa, he totally called it!
Here's a radio interview MM did a couple days after the QE tour ended where he talks about the experience:

Canadians look for excuses to type and properly spell "George Stroumboulopoulos" just to impress each other and mark territory. The rest of it is probably made up. :P

@Missreclusive When you delete your post my reply looks like a non sequitur LOL but anyway...
Up In The Air... Lyrically cliche/forgettable. Musically, kind of catchy after a few listens. The YouTuber who commented "Marc just went all Ricky Martin on us haha" sums it up perfectly, I think. :D
I actually prefer Downhere's latest single Living The Dream:

It sounds very Beatles-ish and the Beatles trumps Ricky Martin every time. ;-)
Marc also did an intro for Living The Dream. It was shot a few months after the STL audition and he still hadn't cleaned the room!!

Hahaha! I wanted to be lazy and just write "Strombo" but figured I should spell it out for the non-Canadians who never heard of him. ;-)

Downhere has announced that they are longer an active band like they used to be. It is practically over for them:

This article has a 22-minute audio interview with Jeff Scott Soto and Jennifer Espinoza. Interesting behind-the-scenes info on QE. Apparently, Roger had the idea for QE for a few years before they actually started auditions and JSS has been in on it since conception. And they've been approached by South American promoters to bring QE there.
