(Laughter)
Brittany: Brandon and I are actually putting our little band together.
That would be cute.
Brittany: I know, right?
(Laughter)
Brittany: If you think about it, I have never spent more than a day without him. So thinking of moving on, I'm not ready to be away from him yet.
Brandon: Yeah, so we're writing and recording songs. It's kind of going to be a departure from Jump5 in a sense that we're doing our own music...
Brittany: We're actually playing instruments.
Brandon: I'll be playing a piano, and she'll be singing. We'll have a band behind us. We'll be out there rocking out, so it'll be cool. In the meantime, we're also doing school, too. We're trying to finish college at the same time, while writing and recording. It's going to be fun.
Is there a name for the band yet?
Brittany: There is!
Brandon: It's called GUEST.
So are you signed with a certain label?
Brandon: No, we're independent now and trying to do our own thing.
Brittany: We're still in the early, early, early stages.
Brandon: Yeah, so once we have some material, we'll shop it around and see how it goes. We're very excited about it.
I'm excited about it, too.
Chris: One thing I would like to say is that we're doing a farewell tour this fall... so get us to London!
Sure, they'd love you guys there. As long as you don't sing "God Bless the USA".
(Laughter)
Chris: We can sing "God Bless the UK!" (sings)
Lesley: We can make it work, God bless the U - ooh - K.
(Laughter)

I agree with Angie, I don't really want them to leave, but life changes and people go on. I just hope their impact on music will last for some time. They've inspired me and I wanted to meet them just once. Though I never got that chance and didn't get to attend any of their concerts unfortunately, I still hope and pray they have huge success in the future doing other things they have looked forward to and hoped for. It's just too bad they won't be the same flipping, jumping, singing band we all know and love, lol. Oh well...at least some of them are staying in music for a little longer. That's cool.

I really wish that Jump5 would stay together but thats ok. I think it is cool that Brandon and Britney are starting a band.
