Since their formation in 2016, they have brought about the revival of the live music scene, which has once again gained mass interest among the youth and sparked a new wave of young artists. The band consists of five members: Bojan Cvjetićanin (vocals), Kris Guštin (guitar), Jan Peteh (guitar), Nace Jordan (bass) and Jure Maček (drums), who are all still in their twenties, the youngest being 23. Most of the band members met in primary school, where they attended the school band to compose and record the official school anthem. This made them realize they love creating their own original music, and especially creating it together.
The wide range of the band members’ characters – from methodically astute to blissfully spontaneous – lead them to develop a unique sound, which came to be known as Shagadelic Rock n’ Roll. In the following years, this energetic but seductive brand of softboi rock took the nation by storm. With the lead singles of the band’s critically acclaimed debut studio album – Umazane Misli (Indecent notions), they took over the radio and streaming charts as well as all major concert stages across the country. Their highly attended shows are filled with explosive grooves and catchy melodies, which fans passionately sing along to. This has brought them two consecutive Artist of the Year Awards in 2021 and 2022, a Song of the Year Award in 2021, and they even became the Bestselling Artist of 2022. Regardless of all the accolades and attention, they’ve stayed grounded and always take time for their fans.
With the creativity just oozing out of the band, even their non-stop touring in 2022 couldn’t stop them from writing and recording their second studio album - Demoni (Demons), which was released along with a sensational sold-out concert in the nation’s most iconic concert venue – Križanke amphitheatre. This further solidified their position as the leaders of the Slovenian New Wave as well as it laid the ground for their international ambitions with two songs in Serbian, the singer’s mother tongue. Always searching for the next level, Joker Out have already announced a concert in Slovenia’s largest arena and are set to become the youngest of a handful of artists to sell it out.
After the National television decided to choose them as their representatives for ESC 2023 in December of 2022 that only confirmed their ambition to pursue international recognition, their song for ESC 2023 - Carpe Diem (seize the day) was performed in Slovenian, because they wanted to prove their native tongue belongs among the great European languages. The song’s message is simple – whatever life throws at you, music and dance are always the right answer.
Katrina
Joker Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Roke pot do njenega sveta
A ne razumejo
Da tam ni prostora za oba
Le njeni glasovi, ko plešem z volkovi
Ugašajo nemir
Kakor, da me sploh ni tu
Izrabi me
Ko strah prevlada v snu
Le njeni glasovi, ko plešem z volkovi
Ugašajo nemir
Povej mi, Katrina, me sploh rada imaš?
Nazaj se ti vračam, da me spet izigraš
Čakam na poraz
Neizbežen v bitki tej
Večer bo dokaz
Prav to me vleče k njej
Le njeni nasmehi na poti k utehi
Ugašajo nemir
Kličejo
Solzе na pomoč
Nočejo za njo razlit' se vsako noč
Ne sprеjmejo mojega opravičila
Da se bo zame spremenila
Povej mi, Katrina, me sploh rada imaš?
Nazaj se ti vračam, da me spet izigraš
Šibko točko udari, le ti jo poznaš
(Povej mi, Katrina)
Povej mi, Katrina, me sploh rada imaš?
Nazaj se ti vračam, da me spet izigraš
Vse bolj gorim, hrepenim za vsakim strelom
Ki ga zadaš
In the first stanza, Joker Out describes how people are searching for the path to Katrina's world, but they fail to understand that there is no space for both of them. He talks about the voices he hears when he dances with the wolves and how they calm his restlessness.
In the second stanza, Joker Out asks Katrina to forget him, like he was never there. He wants her to use him to overcome her fears in her dreams. He again talks about the voices he hears when he dances with the wolves, and how they calm his restlessness. He then asks Katrina if she loves him or not.
In the third stanza, Joker Out says he's waiting for the inevitable defeat in his battle, and the evening is proof of what pulls him towards Katrina. He talks about the happiness he feels when he sees the smile on Katrina's face, which soothes his restlessness. He then describes how tears call out for help and no one listens, and how he apologizes for what he has done and hopes that Katrina will forgive him. He goes on to ask Katrina if she still loves him or not.
Overall, the song Katrina is about a man's obsession with a woman named Katrina. He desires to be with her, but he understands that there is no space for both of them in her world. He also recognizes his weakness in front of her and hopes that she loves him back, despite his flaws.

They search for
Roke pot do njenega sveta
The way to her world is sought
A ne razumejo
But they don't understand
Da tam ni prostora za oba
That there's no room for both of them there
Le njeni glasovi, ko plešem z volkovi
Only her voice, when I dance with the wolves
Ugašajo nemir
Quiets my unrest
Pozabi me
Forget me
Kakor, da me sploh ni tu
As if I'm not even here
Izrabi me
Use me up
Ko strah prevlada v snu
When fear dominates in sleep
Povej mi, Katrina, me sploh rada imaš?
Tell me, Katrina, do you even love me?
Nazaj se ti vračam, da me spet izigraš
I'm coming back to you, to be deceived again
Čakam na poraz
I'm waiting for defeat
Neizbežen v bitki tej
Inevitable in this battle
Večer bo dokaz
Tonight will be proof
Prav to me vleče k njej
That's what draws me to her
Le njeni nasmehi na poti k utehi
Only her smiles are comforting
Ugašajo nemir
Quiets my unrest
Kličejo
They call
Solzе na pomoč
Tears for help
Nočejo za njo razlit' se vsako noč
They don't want to spill for her every night
Ne sprеjmejo mojega opravičila
They don't accept my apology
Da se bo zame spremenila
That she'll change for me
Šibko točko udari, le ti jo poznaš
Strike the weak point, only you know it
Vse bolj gorim, hrepenim za vsakim strelom
I burn more and more, longing for every shot
Ki ga zadaš
That you deliver

THIS IS SO ME OMFG
@MusicNesha
here's a rough translation of the lyrics for any non-slovenian speaking listeners:
there are hands trying to find their way into her world
but they do not understand that there is not enough space for two
only her voices, when i dance with the wolves, turn the riot down
forget about me, as if i am not here
use me when fear overrides your dreams
only her voices, when i dance with the wolves, turn the riot down
tell me katrina, do you even love me?
i come back to you once more, so you can play me again
defeat awaits me, inevitable in this battle
the night will be proof, it’s what leads me to her
only her smiles, on the way to consolation, turn the riot down
tears cry out to me for help
they do not want to spill for her every night
they do not accept my apology, that she will change for me
tell me katrina, do you even love me?
i come back to you once more, so you can play me again
hit my weak spot that only you know
tell me katrina, do you even love me?
i come back to you once more, so you can play me again
i’m burning up more and more, craving for every strike that you inflict

here's an english translation
Title: Katrina
They seek,
my hands, the way to her world
But they don't understand
That there's not enough room for both of us there
Only her voices, as I dance with wolves,
Quell the unrest
Forget me
Like I'm not even here
Use me up
As fear prevails in a dream
Only her voices, as I dance with wolves,
They quell the unrest
Tell me, Katrina, do you love me at all?
I keep coming back for you to play me again
Defeat awaits me
Unavoidable in this battle
The evening will be proof
That's exactly what draws me to her
Only her smiles, on the way to relief,
Quell the unrest
They cry out,
my tears, for help
They don't want to
Pour for her every night
They won't accept my apology
That she'll change for me
Tell me, Katrina, do you love me at all?
I keep coming back for you to play me again
Hit my weak point, only you know it
(Tell me, Katrina)
Tell me, Katrina, do you love me at all?
I keep coming back for you to play me again
I'm burning up more and more, I yearn for every shot
That you strike
