Interview with Joker Out's member Nace Jordan, from Slovenian magazine Kranjčanka!

"Enriched by a special experience"

We caught up with Nace Jordan, bassist of Joker Out, a week or so after the Eurovision show in Liverpool, a few days after the show in Zagreb, and just before they left for the show in Dublin, where they sold out their first show in twenty minutes… On stage, they kept company to the Irish performers.

The fact that this guy, who is otherwise from Mlaka (T.N: small village near Kranj), is fully booked, can be confirmed by telling you that he moved into a new flat in March of this year - he has been living in Ljubljana for some time now - but he has spent less than 14 days there until it was time for the Eurovision Song Contest. He still returns to Kranj at least twice a week to visit his mother and to stay true to himself: he decided to get a personal trainer a while ago, so now he also goes to Kranj to train there.

Nace Jordan came into contact with music in primary school. He first played the guitar, which he soon replaced with the bass guitar. "Around the fifth grade of primary school (T.N: 10-11 years old), I became interested in instruments and a classmate and I decided to start a music group. He bought a drum set and I bought an electric guitar. Then we quickly saw that there were no bass players. So I sold the guitar and bought a bass guitar," he explains. He has no formal musical training, but says he has been lucky that wherever he has gone in life, there has always been a good mentor who has been able to guide him.

I: How long did this primary school group last?

N: In those days it was a well-known Kranj band called Success. We did a lot of gigs. It's interesting that all the band members from that time are now living off music. They are, for example, the guitarist Nejc Ušlakar, Tajda Jovanović - also from Mlaka - who is a top classical singer and used to sing at the famous Scala in Milan; if I am not mistaken, she is now teaching classical singing in Dubai. We just created an environment for ourselves and stayed in music. The drummer and keyboard player, Aljaž Bernik and Miha Petrovič, have, for example, a very successful wedding band, called Pop Deluxe.

I: What came after primary school? (* (T.N: In Slovenia, primary school lasts for 9 years, from ages 6-15)

N: I enrolled at the then Iskra University, majoring in mechatronics, but just before graduation I started working - actually playing on a cruiser. By some chance I found myself at a jam session open mind in Kranj, where the Kranj drummer Rok Rozman was looking for someone to go on the boat with him. He was impressed with me, I auditioned and of course they weren't very happy at home when I confronted them with the fact that I was going to take my final exams the following year. I was just 18 years old.

I: Was that a cruise ship?

N: Yes. We were travelling in the Baltic Ocean. I remember that we started in Germany, in a port north of Hamburg, then continued on to Gdansk, St Petersburg and to the Scandinavian countries.

l: That was probably the only time you've been on a cruise ship of that kind, a tourist cruise ship?

I've had a lot of people ask me if I would ever go on holiday on a cruise ship. Probably not. But I would go and have another look at the one I played on.

I: When you came back to Slovenia, did you graduate from high school? N: I didn't and I still regret it a little bit. When I came back from the ship, I started working with the singer Katarina Malo. During that time, I was also taken under the wing of two musicians from Primorska (T.N.: a region in the South-Western part of Slovenia) - that's what I mentioned: I found myself somewhere and then a mentor came along. I learned a lot from them. They were David Morgan and Denis Beganovic - Kiki. The first one is a top jazz drummer from the coastal area, he organises a lot of stuff, and he also plays with Avtomobili (T.N. slovenian band), I think he even played with Plestenjak (T.N. Jan Plestenjak, a famous Slovenian pop singer) at one point. Whereas Kiki is a multi-instrumentalist. He's an extraordinary talent. He has worked with Kanzyani and other famous DJs and musicians from abroad. He has made a lot of music, and he also led the Big Band from the coastal region. That was a really nice period for me. I even moved to the coastal region for a short period.

I: Why music, why not football?

N: Certainly not football (laughs). It's the sport I'm least talented in, or rather, all ball sports fall into that context - be it table tennis or football; and, even though my surname is Jordan, I'm the worst basketball player in the world (laughs). Just two days ago, I met my first grade teacher, and of course the topic of music and Eurovision came up. She told me that she knew even back then that school was not for me, but that I would definitely do something creative in my life. It brought back memories of how bored I was at school and how I would rather draw under my desk than listen, even though I was not a bad student.

I: You haven't been a member of Joker Out for long.

N: Since last year. Martin Jurkovič, the original bass player, felt at some point that music was not his main path. He is also an extremely talented programmer and is studying in that direction. He wants to study abroad and decided to finish that chapter. I knew the lead singer of the band, Bojan, from some mutual friend groups before, and the guys were looking for someone who was around their age, professional, good at what they do, and they thought of me. And Martin was in favour of me coming into the group instead of him.

I: And did you imagine that the band would continue the way it did?

N: From the beginning I went into the band with a bit of hesitation. I even suggested a test period. I had learnt that there has to be chemistry between the members. And if we didn't get along with each other the way we do, we wouldn't have performed on the Eurovision stage. We would have had a fight otherwise.

I: Do you spend a lot of time together?

N: First there were the Eurovision showcase concerts, and now there is the summer concert tour in Slovenia. We also have quite a few problems, because we get a lot of calls from abroad. It's logistically difficult, so we're looking for a solution to link some of the concerts to the tour. After the Eurovision Song Contest, we really started to get noticed abroad.

I: Was this your first Eurovision Song Contest?

N: Yes. But I have been to EMA (slovenian national selection for ESC) several times before.

I: Was it as you imagined it would be?

N: Even better. I can say that everyone who has been through this kind of experience has told us that it will be really tough: there will be a lot of work, but that we should also expect crazy parties. But in the end, it was much less exhausting than we expected. In fact, we had such a busy schedule beforehand that Eurovision itself was almost easier for us afterwards. We were practically in the Arena for five days, the rest was socialising, interviews and other commitments. In principle, we like that.

I: You seemed to be well received.

N: We were lucky enough to have connected with practically all the performers. We were always in a good mood, which was seen and felt both in the performances and in the interviews, during the statements. We came home really enriched by a special experience. And it was really nice to see how the people at home supported us. After the first semi-final, we got some footage of how they were watching us and we were just amazed how behind Bežigrad (Ljubljana district), let's say, they watched the first semi-final show in an organised way. The energy was crazy, like at a match.

I: What about Liverpool? Was there any time to "play tourists"?

N: During Eurovision, not really. We were in Liverpool before, because we were shooting a video. I think it was after Barcelona, and we did a lot of walking around the city then. For those who like the Beatles, Liverpool is great.

I : How did it come about that you went to Eurovision in the first place?

N : When I came into the group, the guys and I immediately started talking about whether we would go to this year's EMAs. We decided to go. We knew we would definitely be one of the favourites because we have a really big and extremely loyal audience. Well, then the EMA didn't happen. The jury decided to make their own choice, from the five entries who had the most songs of the week during that year. And I think only two of us ended up applying. There was no EMA, and they sent us to Liverpool.

I: You mostly use Slovenian in your songs.

N: Of course. We have a few songs in English, but we mostly sing in Slovenian. We were talking about how we would work going forwards, and we agreed not to bother with the language. We are proud of our Slovenian language. It's really something beautiful when you see an adult Peruvian man or a five-year-old Spanish girl singing our song in Slovenian. In that moment you understand the athletes and you are proud to be Slovenian.

I: How is it on the street? Do people recognise you? You often hear: is that the bass player of Joker Out?

N: Yes, quite. Most of the time it's people who say something nice to you, or want a selfie. Of course, there are also some "admirers" who stick gum all over my car or leave messages. There's a good side and a bad side to being a public personality. Sometimes it requires of you to spend three hours taking photos - but if you enjoy doing something, that's not a problem either.

I: Do you think that it is actually the fact that you get along well in a group that "pulls" in the audience?

N: The energy between us is definitely something that is contagious. I don't know if it's what makes the audience really like us, but it's something that puts even someone who is in a bad mood in a good mood.

Devastating floods triggered by torrential rains have caused the death of at least three people in Slovenia, with estimated damage of 500 million euros ($550m).

Prime Minister Robert Golob said on Saturday that floods on Thursday and Friday were “the biggest natural disaster” in the small Alpine nation’s history.

Golob said road and energy infrastructure were hit particularly hard, as well as hundreds of homes and other buildings. Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes and many had to be rescued by helicopters or firefighters in boats.

Slovenia’s army has joined the relief effort, with troops reaching cut-off areas in the north to help.

Two-thirds of the territory in the country, home to two million people, were affected, the prime minister said.

Among those who died were two Dutch climbers on Friday in the mountains near Kranj, presumably as a result of being struck by lightning, Slovenia’s STA news agency reported citing police.

Also on Friday, a woman died due to flooding in the town of Kamnik, 20km (12.5 miles) north of the capital, Ljubljana, according to the report.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen assured Slovenia of the union’s help. The damage in Slovenia was “heartbreaking”, she tweeted.

In Dravograd, near the border with Austria, 110 people, including 30 tourists, had to be brought to safety after a landslide Saturday.

The town, which lies at the confluence of three rivers – Drava, Meze and Mislinje – was at risk of another landslide.

Long, unedited WIP passage running down the concept behind the worldbuilding in my art under the cut.

In the period of European national revolutions, the movement in modern-day Croatia was encompassed by the "Illyrian national revival" primarily aiming toward literary reform, linguistic modernization and pan-slavic independence from the Austrian and Hungarian dominated Habsburgs. Of course, there's a lot more nuance to get into here, up until Yugoslavism overtook the charge of Illyrism, but here I'm dealing with an alternate and conceptual history of this movement and nation.

One founded in a world of alternate metaphysics where idealism such as the one emergent in the republican revolutions is a material force and the winds of revolution swept across the world, where the "Illyrian provinces" of the French republic had this emerging identity deliberatelly fostered.

To clearly outline the timeline while avoiding a lore-neurotic puzzlebox narrative, our divergence begins with the success of the montagnard reign of terror and failure of the thermidorian reaction, propelling the jacobin club into the domination of French politics and the beginning of the First Revolutionary War. The details are tertiary here, the events are determined by a fractal of idealistic forces spurring on reality-shaping events, an axiomatic wind of history emanating from humanity. We will get to this much later - right here, what matters is that the old order of Europe is annihilated and a French jacobin hegemony is established up to the retracted Ottoman empire and the far east of the Russian Republic. In the late 1810s, or 20s of the republican calendar, the Illyrian provinces under direct French directorate are given increased autonomy to develop as a nation.

The movement of Ljudevit Gaj, the nascent bourgeoisie class of Ljubljana, Gradec and Belgrade is granted license to fashion fate and impose it on millions of peasants, orthodox tradesmen, sufi clerics, mountain pastoralists and danubian smallholders. This bolder iteration of "Illyrian National Revival" is hallmarked by paradoxical elements. Classicist undertones comparable to Hellenism, a secular adoption of names picked from ancient Illyrian tribes. A deliberate distinction from surrounding European empires, supported by the French cores interest in possessing an oriental frontier at its doorstep. Secular and mystical, revolutionary and despotic. It is, in all senses, the embodiment of "Ruritania".

A "Ruritania" is a fictional minor european nation of 19th century fiction, in this case specifically referring to the historical narratives of national development in the balkans. "Ruritania" is the hide of national romanticism draped over a state, tanned in the sun until it appears as an organic emanation of the culture - though in reality, it is a product of megalomaniacal idealism, constructed by the ruling intelligentsia and industrialist class, refracted through western interests, whether it be inventing ancient emnities to entrench division, Habsburg abuse of "exotic" architecture (I heartily recommend reading about the moorish revival in Bosnia!) or victorian fetishism for the "primitive". The discreet national identities existing today are themselves ruritanian, founded on cherrypicked delusions of grandeur from recently shared mythos. Illyria is a concentrated one, built on a different set of foundations.

To return to our timeline, Illyrian national identity, the empire of megalomania, is easily entrenched. Rural areas remain particularist and "regional identities" such as Dalmatian, Moravian or Bosnian persist without shaping into national identity. The core of the Illyrian state lay in the urbanized northern belt, the Kranj, Red (derived from Red Croatia) and Dunav provinces. The industrialization of the state is inequal, almost entirely concentrated in the three provinces, in part exported to the urban cores of the Bosnian province, Dalmatia and Istria. An endless stream of emigrants from the hinterlands changes the face of the nation, industrialized agriculture in the north overshadows the old pastoral ways, and then the process is abruptly halted again.

Toward the end of the first century of the republican calendar, the Second Revolutionary War begins with the toppling of the British Republic by national revanchists, the ensuing crisis dissolving the Jacobin hegemony in France and ushering in a series of intracontinental wars between fractions loyal to jacobinism, those disappointed with the state it brought about and the liberal and national revolutionaries of Europe. Illyria is spared of the carnage - for now - due to its politically unmotivated population and entrenched ruling intelligentsia.

The Second Revolutionary War culminates in the formation of an unified front of reformist and new jacobin forces to halt the encroachment of social-revolutionaries in France, Germany and a number of other European nations. This unified front is the foundation of the reformed pan-european defense pact, the ARC - Axe Republicain Continental. The last bastion of the defeated social-revolutionaries (In Illyria, Eseri, or pejoratively Termitnik movement) is the Hungarian Workers and Soldiers State, encompassing most of the Pannnonian basin and the Carpathians. With a dash of historic paranoia over Hungarian rule and the pragmatic need to safeguard the balance of power from the Eser state, Illyria enters ARC as a core member.

LETS GOOOO

6. When did they realize they loved each other?

I think something started to ignite more between them in the pre-ESC season (between CD release and Ljubljana gig before the ESC rehearsals). They were flirting, sure, but one time, before Ljubljana gig they couldn’t stand the pining anymore, so Nace asked Jan out on a simple meeting with some coffee and gf pastry. Turned out it was their first date.

18. What song fits them perfectly?

*runs into my From Kranj To Vrhnika playlist* I have few picks in various languages:

A sem ti povedal - Joker Out (def their JO song)

Malinowy chruśniak - Daria Zawiałow (check the translation! One of hottest song in Polish)

Basically I can’t pick a song. Check my playlist, it’s linked.

39. What other couple would your otp get along with the best?

I am a pretty good stalker and AFAIK Jan’s brother is taken as well so they will surely get along. In my head they do.

#I see your other ask and imma do both questions! #otp asks #joker out #nace jordan #jan peteh
