The Slovenian band Joker Out, famous for their energy, sincerity and "shagadelic" style, are coming back to Skopje! On the 29th of June, they will perform at the ARM Stadium, as part of the Skopje Calling festival, and we had an exclusive opportunity to chat with them before the show. What are their thoughts about the Macedonian audience, their growth after Eurovision and which is their favourite Balkan band? - find out below:

This is your fourth time in Skopje - what brings you back and what do you like the most about the Macedonian audience?

Joker Out: Actually, this is our fourth time in Macedonia! It's our third time in Skopje, but we have performed in Dojran, as well. Macedonia is a wonderful country with incredible landscapes (at least from what we have seen while driving through it) and with the warmest people who always welcome us with open arms. That's why we are always looking forward to coming back.

Do you have any favourite places, dishes or moments from your last visit that made you want to return?

Joker Out: Absolutely! We love Macedonian cuisine! We don't know the name of the dish, but last time we were in awe of some fried peppers stuffed with cheese. Your food has such exotic and spicy flavours, that we just can't forget it. And our best memories are tied to the concerts and restaurants.

How did Eurovision shape you as artists and as a band?

Joker Out: Eurovision is an intense and demanding experience, so we got even closer as a band, with everything that came after it. We learned to rely on each other and help each other out in difficult times. As artists, we wanted to keep moving forward and progress to a new level.

How has your sound changed since the beginning? Are you moving towards a more international direction?

Joker Out: Our albums depict that growth - the first album was only in Slovenian, the second one has Serbian too, and the third one has English songs, as well. However, we have always drawn inspiration from big international artists, while also keeping our authentic Slovenian expression. Instead of moving towards an international sound, we're bringing the Slovenian sound to the worldwide scene.

What does the process of making music look like - is it collaborative or does a member take the lead?

Joker Out: It is becoming more and more of a collaborative process. With each new album, we have more songs that have been created out of jam sessions. Sometimes, naturally, someone comes up with an idea, but the music part is teamwork - one day one of us leads, and the next day it's someone else.

Your songs sound both nostalgic and fresh. Which are your biggest musical influences?

Joker Out: We started off as fans of Slovenian bands, such as Siddharta, Big Foot Mama and Dan D. Then, we discovered The Beatles, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, and for our latest album, we were really inspired by Yugoslav bands like Bijelo Dugme and Plavi Orkestar.

You sing in both Slovenian and English - how do you decide which language fits a particular song?

Joker Out: The song tells us. Every language is like a different instrument - sometimes you want to "play" with one, sometimes with the other. It depends on the inspiration in that moment.

You have been on tour together for a long time - how do you maintain the chemistry within the band? Do you have any rituals or inside jokes?

Joker Out: We've got a lot of inside jokes (but we can't reveal them 😊). We've got a short pre-concert ritual to sync up. But, what is most important is to respect each other, not take everything too seriously, and to keep in mind that everything we do is for something bigger than ourselves.

How would someone from the outside describe Joker Out in three words?

Joker Out: Loud, Pure, Shagadelic.

What is next for Joker Out after the tour - new music, festivals, collaborations?

Joker Out: We've just announced The Karneval, to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, which is going to take place on the 20th of June, 2026 in Ljubljana - our biggest show yet! We are also working on new music, which will come out in the second half of this year, so - no summer break for us!

If you could collaborate with any Balkan artist right now, who would it be?

Joker Out: Buč Kesidi!

And finally - what message would you send to your Macedonian fans before the concert?

Joker Out: Warm up your hips and vocal chords! We are bringing a fresh Slovenian summer breeze that will sweep you off your feet!

Don't miss out on Joker Out live at Skopje Calling - the 29th of June, ARM Stadium. Expect a night filled with love, energy and "shagadelic" rhythm!

🔥 “Trust Fall.”

Jerome Valeska x You (danger, suggestive tension, mind games, fear kink disguised as trust)

summary: rooftop balcony, six floors up, no railing behind you. he flips you so your back faces the city, gripping your shirt like it’s a game. you grab his wrist like it’s not. your heart races—but not from fear.

“You know,” Jerome says, slow and quiet behind you, “from back here, you almost look like you’re about to jump.”

You smirk at the city lights, not turning. “You always think people want to die when they’re just enjoying the view?”

“No,” he purrs, footsteps approaching. “Just you.”

Before you can throw a smart reply, he flips you.

One motion—sharp, effortless. Suddenly your back is to the city, ass on the edge of the balcony, legs dangling six stories high.

Your breath catches.

But you don’t flinch.

You just… look at him.

Because he has you.

His fist is curled in the front of your shirt, knuckles pressed to your sternum, the only thing stopping gravity.

You’re not holding the railing.

You’re not even holding him.

So slowly, deliberately, your hand rises and grips his wrist.

Tight. Silent.

“Scared?” he asks, eyes glittering, like this is all foreplay.

“No,” you lie.

“Liar.”

You smirk. “If you let go, I’m taking you with me.”

He leans in, his body pressing between your knees, hand still clenched in your shirt, unwavering.

“If I let go,” he whispers against your lips, “I’m jumping after you.”

That makes you pause.

Not because it’s romantic.

Because it’s Jerome. And you believe him.

The wind shifts, brushing your hair into your face. His free hand tucks it behind your ear like you’re not hanging off the edge of your life.

“You really think I’d drop you?” he murmurs.

Your grip on his wrist tightens.

He leans forward. Kisses you—not soft, not sweet. It’s teeth. It’s tongue. It’s his.

Then, with a tug of your shirt, he pulls you off the ledge—into his chest, into safety, into chaos.

You land against him, breathless.

“God, you’re an asshole,” you mutter.

His grin is pure fire.

“Yeah,” he says. “But you trust me anyway.”

And damn it, you do.

You never have partied? Me either. But. One day you get an invite to a party and you think 🤔 I'll go. As you arrive the sound of thumping bass is everywhere. Sweaty bodies dance on a wood floor. In the corner is a couch. "Holy shit." You mutter, as you take it in. 26 year old Slovenian rock god Bojan Cvjetićanin (born 1999 in Ljubljana) is on the couch. You gulp. He looks so good nursing his Laško. You wind your way though the bodies and approach. He looks up through heavily lidded eyes. "Živjo" he says. "Ž--ivjo" you reply. "Sit. Sit." He replies, patting his seat. You sit nervously. "I am Bojan. Famous singer from Slovenian rock band Joker Out. This is my party." You look at him. " I know, I'm a big fan. You are my favourite." "Favourite? Hmm..." he says. And his arm reaches toward you, sensually winding it's way around your shoulder. "Let's take this upstairs." He simpers. Soon you are headed upstairs. He takes you to his bedroom.

"Want to see my Käärijä collection?" He bounces on the toes of his feet. You look around. The walls are filled with posters, photos and other assorted Käärija merch. You spend the rest of the night talking about Jere. The end.

it's 4 a.m. i've looped kaistaa at least five times i'm contemplating whether to read this now or go to sleep but the first two sentences tell me this is art. fast forward i dropped from my chair laughing. extremely accurate description of what happened in glasgow tbh what can i say

@ your tags, can you tell us sth about that jankris dream? 👀👀👀

(only if you want ofc! i just love jankris sm and they're so underrated so any crumb is always good 🫣)

Ohh it was actually a very weird dream (like the whole scenery and stuff was so weird, I remember being a little confused about it even in the dream lmao), but I can try and explain it for you nonny :D

Okay, so the dream actually started with me and Jan talking. I don't remember what we were talking about, but we had just met and were kinda flirting with each other a bit, but after a while Jan got a call from a friend (Kris) and excused himself for a moment.

I was just standing there, patiently waiting for him, when I realized his whole demeanour had changed the moment he picked up the phone – not just in a "we're basically strangers and now he's talking to his friend" kind of way; there was something more.

When the call ended, he told me something along the lines of “My friend told me he's on his way here, I hope you don't mind”, and I was like “Yeah, sure, no problem!”

So we kept chatting for a while until Jan's phone buzzed again to signal that Kris was there, and Jan's face literally lit up. I told him I'd wait for them there (we were near the beach, I think?), and he went up the escalator (idk why but there was a huge escalator by the beach, okay? just roll with it) to search for Kris.

(Now I guess for dream-related purposes my brain decided to let me witness their whole interaction despite me not actually being there lol just fyi hshs)

Jan went up to meet Kris, who was carrying both his and Jan's guitars. He immediately handed Jan his guitar as they greeted each other and started descending once again on the escalator. Kris turned around from where he was standing one step ahead of Jan, both of them chuckling at the way their positions were inverted, with Kris being the one looking up at Jan for once.

“Why did you bring the guitars anyways, weren't you going on a date or something?” Jan asked, as if he didn't remember a little too well when, where, and who his friend had excitedly told him he was going on a date with. (We'll call her X)

“I did! It just didn't go too well, but I got this idea for a riff, and I wanted to show you before I forgot, so here I am,” Kris smiled.

“It didn't go well? What happened?”

“I don't know, man; I guess she just wasn't the one? I mean, she was very nice, and we even kissed at some point, but it just didn't feel right, you know?"

Jan forced out an “Oh, that sucks, man, sorry,” that he really hoped would mask the way his heart stung a little at the mention of the kiss.

“Nah, don't worry,” Kris really didn't sound too bothered by the situation. “It was definitely better than my last date, though – remember Y? The one girl you told me you didn't like? Yeah, it felt better with X than with Y, but we still didn't click in that sense, if you know what I mean.” Jan nodded. “Anyway, whatever, I'm here with you now, no more girl talk.”

Jan chuckled. “Well, about that...”

Kris's face dropped. “Were you... I didn't interrupt you or anything, did I?”

“No, no, I was just chatting with someone. But it's fine, really. Just wanted to warn you that she's waiting for us down there,” Jan explained. “If... if you don't mind, of course. I can just tell her that–”

“No, that's cool, yeah, no problem!”

They just kind of stood there awkwardly for a few seconds, and Jan would swear he saw a little bit of disappointment behind Kris's blue eyes, but it was probably just wishful thinking.

By the time they reached the place where I was still waiting, the short, awkward seconds had been long forgotten, and they were back to joking around, acting as if their only mission was seeing who'd made the other laugh harder.

The moment I saw them looking at each other with that kind of dopey grin people get when they see their crush plastered on their faces, both of them blushing lightly and stealing little shy glances at each other, absolutely oblivious that the other was doing exactly the same, I completely forgot about the fact that I had initially been trying to flirt with Jan in favour of Jesus Christ I Have To Get These Two Idiots Together ASAP.

We talked for a little while before Kris actually took out his acoustic guitar to show us the melody he had come up with.

At that point I truly didn't know if they were even aware themselves of their own feelings, but what was clear was that Kris wasn't just showing Jan the melody he had come up with – he was playing for Jan, as if the entire world had vanished and Jan was the only thing left in it. Similarly, Jan only had eyes for Kris, the way he looked at him transcending admiration in so many ways. And it was just so so painfully obvious that they both loved each other, that they craved more but never dared to ask, perhaps so afraid to break what they already had that they didn't even realize the feeling was reciprocated.

It was over too soon, though it didn't matter because Jan quickly took his own guitar in hand, asking Kris to play it again.

It felt a bit like I was intruding on such a magical moment, and I probably could've walked away and they'd take at least five minutes to realize I was gone, but I was On A Mission.

Time went on, and we kept talking and getting to know each other. I learned a lot about them and how they had met and all that, and with every passing second it was more and more obvious how down bad they were for each other (like the distant look on Jan's face when Kris started telling me about his date, for example), so I tried dropping little hints here and there.

If the looks he threw my way were anything to go by, Jan seemed to catch up with what I was doing. Meanwhile, Kris still seemed completely oblivious, and when he started explaining the whole thing about "whenever I kiss or have a date with someone it's nice, but it doesn't feel like This Is It", I realized two things: 1) Jan was hopelessly (or so he thought) in love with Kris and didn't say anything about it because he honestly thought Kris was straight, and 2) Kris was too oblivious to realize the reason why his dates never went how he wanted them to go was because the person he was actually in love with was sitting next to him in that exact moment.

They were absolute idiots, honestly.

So then, I took my chance and asked:

“Have you ever tried kissing a guy?”

To my surprise (or not really), both of them blushed. “I– I mean, I've... Me and Jan... We've kissed before, but not in that way, just, you know, friends stuff,” Kris stammered over his words.

“Okay. But did it feel different from when you kiss girls?” I asked. Jan busied himself by picking at his nail polish, clearly avoiding eye contact.

“I... guess...? Well, obviously it did, like, kissing Jan always feels good.” Even he seemed shocked about how sincere his words sounded. “Not that we kiss a lot or anything! But yeah, it... it feels good. As you can probably guess, I haven't had too much luck with girls recently, but Jan is always there for me and, and we both know everything about each other, so I guess it makes sense that it feels better when I do it with him. Right?”

Aaand, I'm so sorry, I wish I could tell you how the story ended, but the truth is I facepalmed myself mentally so hard after that that it literally woke me up lmao (rude. hilarious, yes. but rude 😔)

What do we think, though? Will dream!me finally make them open their eyes and see the truth, or will they keep being pining idiots (affectionate) until the end of times? agshzjsns

I learned a lot about them and how they had met and all that, and with every passing second it was more and more obvious how down bad they were for each other (like the distant look on Jan's face when Kris started telling me about his date, for example), so I tried dropping little hints here and there.

If the looks he threw my way were anything to go by, Jan seemed to catch up with what I was doing. Meanwhile, Kris still seemed completely oblivious, and when he started explaining the whole thing about "whenever I kiss or have a date with someone it's nice, but it doesn't feel like This Is It", I realized two things: 1) Jan was hopelessly (or so he thought) in love with Kris and didn't say anything about it because he honestly thought Kris was straight, and 2) Kris was too oblivious to realize the reason why his dates never went how he wanted them to go was because the person he was actually in love with was sitting next to him in that exact moment.

They were absolute idiots, honestly.

So then, I took my chance and asked:

“Have you ever tried kissing a guy?”

To my surprise (or not really), both of them blushed. “I– I mean, I've... Me and Jan... We've kissed before, but not in that way, just, you know, friends stuff,” Kris stammered over his words.

“Okay. But did it feel different from when you kiss girls?” I asked. Jan busied himself by picking at his nail polish, clearly avoiding eye contact.

“I... guess...? Well, obviously it did, like, kissing Jan always feels good.” Even he seemed shocked about how sincere his words sounded. “Not that we kiss a lot or anything! But yeah, it... it feels good. As you can probably guess, I haven't had too much luck with girls recently, but Jan is always there for me and, and we both know everything about each other, so I guess it makes sense that it feels better when I do it with him. Right?”

Aaand, I'm so sorry, I wish I could tell you how the story ended, but the truth is I facepalmed myself mentally so hard after that that it literally woke me up lmao (rude. hilarious, yes. but rude 😔)

What do we think, though? Will dream!me finally make them open their eyes and see the truth, or will they keep being pining idiots (affectionate) until the end of times? agshzjsns

I have to talk about this because my boys!!! 🥰 When Urban joined the stage, he immediately went to Bojan, stayed with him for a tiny bit and then ran around to stand next to Kris the whole time (and to hold him by the waist most of the time 🥰)

His own band who?! Urban only knows BoKris... 🥰

Does anyone remember that art post on ao3 of the boys all in playboy bunny suits? I can picture the art style but I've forgotten the artist and I cannot find the post anymore.

Jure was in a blue bunny suit, I think bojan was in white, Jan in red, nace in purple and Kris in pink I think.

Let me know if you guys can find it or know what I'm talking about

Idk what people are talking about - it’s just a man letting just the tip of his lollipop rest on his tongue while staring up at the man for whom he changed the entire course of his life. Totally normal things.
