Hi Junior Senior Friends,

This is Jesper (Jr.) and Jeppe (Sr) speaking. 

We have decided in much peace and prosperity to put Junior Senior to rest and focus 100% on making music on our own, as we have been doing for the last year, Jesper Jr. through I Scream Ice Cream -- and now The Little Sisters -- and Jeppe Sr. as Jeppe.

We know it would have been a much juicier story if we hated each other and we split over big egos or something. We even thought of making a fake youtube video of us getting into a fight at a late night party over whether we should call the next album "Jumping Jack Junior" or "Senior Says." But we don't promote violence, kids. Just peace and good vibes alright.

We have met so many amazing people around the world, experienced so many cool things, had so many crazy good times… so many we never even dared dream of. We are so happy we made you dance.

Some crazy highlights and fun memories include… when the B-52's told us we inspired them to record! …bumping into Nile Rodgers of Chic on a NY street corner and listening to him sing us one of our own songs -- which made Jesper Jr. speechless for half an hour! … Recording and having the best laughs with the legendary Motown ladies the Velvelettes on a cold Chicago weekend ("more Pops (soda) Senior")… Dancing with Bobby Gillespie's mom on 'Later with Jools Holland' while UK singer Lulu hit on our bass player Filip…. Playing in front of 40,000 people at UK's Reading Festival which started with having bottles of piss thrown at us, and only minutes later turned into everyone dancing…. Walking the beautiful streets of Nashville for two weeks while mixing our second album… Performing on US morning show 'Live with Regis and Kelly' while Roseanne Barr looked on screaming "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?" ;-) and so much more...

But most importantly, though…

Thank u for dancing, coming to our shows, listening to the music, being there and going crazy. We are forever and ever ever grateful and a thank u would never be enough.



YOU made us so happy 

Big Kisses and Never Ending Thank Us

jesper and jeppe

….hope to see u all again soon

Aww, no more live shows then? I guess not :(

Good luck in the future, though! I'm hoping for a revival tour in 2030 :)

hej jr/sr: tak for gode shows og stunder med jeres musik! jeg husker stadig især et instore-gig i fona2000 (move your feet-release vistnok!?), hvor en vis herre hopper ivrigt rundt på den mikro-lille scene og noget med et hoved og en lampe :D

I like it when bands break up amicably. That way it's more of a hiatus and more of a chance for you to get back together for mystery projects.
OoOoOoOooooooo!

NOOOOOOO! I am sad. Junior Senior changed my life. Really. I became a radio personalityt because I loved your music so much. I look forward to your future projects though, and know I will have JUST as much fun dancing and singing along! Thank you SOOO much.

Wow. I'm not gonna pretend this is anything but sad. Junior Senior has been one of my favorite pop bands these past few years. All three albums (I'm counting the album-length "EP" from last summer) were absolutely brilliant and came out during three big life-changing times in my life (every other summer, funny that), providing the soundtrack and now nostalgia.


What a bummer. At least you went out on a high note. That EP from last year is up there with "Mesopotamia." It gives me goosebumps, it's so perfect.


I'll support your solo endeavors, but I wouldn't be mad at you for getting back together and doing a Junior Senior record every couple of years.
;)

xoxo

:( I'm sad because I never got to see you live, but I have to admit I saw it coming. When you promised a bigger tour and it never happened and then you each started your solo projects I knew it was over. I didn't want to believe it but I knew what was happening. I don't know why but I kinda have a sixth sence for knowing when things are ending. I knew when my dog was about to die, I knew that you guys would be parting soon. That sounds really pessimistic but it's just the way I feel. It's really unfortunate for me and many others, but atleast you are both still making happy music, and maybe I can still get to meet you in person, and make you sign the hat I made. You guys helped make me who I am today and I'm greatful for that. I love you both, and I wish you the best of luck.


Love,
Joy

Thank you so much for everything you've done!

A world without Junior Senior will be rough, but a world that never had a Junior Senior is just unthinkable.


I love you!

Thanks guys for bringing some dancing , positive energy and great music into this often dreary world. Thanks for some great videos. Thanks also for an amazing first show in Chicago and a great excuse to go to New Orleans ( you guys and the B- 52s?! Mind blowing and mandatory for me to see) Best of luck in your projects.
Skål Junior Senior!

I'm happy you both ended Junior Senior in a peaceful manner! I'll miss your music as Junior Senior so much. Seeing you guys live was one of the greatest experiences of my life! I don't think I ever danced more than I did in Cambridge that night. Good luck with everything, and I'll be supporting your projects.
