Joker out – the famous Slovenian indie pop band
When it comes to Slovenian bands, Joker out stands out the most, mainly because of their unique music style. Instead of producing the traditional Slovenian music, they chose to be one of a kind and become one of the first Slovenian artists to produce in an indie style. The band consists of 5 members: Bojan Cvjetićanin (main vocalist), Kris Guštin (guitar), Jan Peteh (guitar). The remaining two members (Martin Jurkovič and Matic Kovačič) have been replaced by Jure Maček and Nace Jordan.
The band peaked in May 2023 when they performed at the Eurovision with their new song “Carpe Diem”. As of now it has 11.5 million streams on Spotify. Fun fact: Carpe diem means “Seize the day” and encourages to “make the most of the present time and give little thought to the future”. But be careful! Every action has its consequences. Besides Carpe Diem, Joker out has many good songs which include Umazane misli, Demoni, Katrina, Gola, Tokio…
