Translation of an article from Estonian tabloid "Kroonika" published 08.03.2024.
(Original article. Translation done by me.)
VIDEO | The audience screamed from excitement! Alika and Käärijä surprised the crowd at the concert of Slovenian Eurovision band Joker Out
Photo by Gertu Võsu.
On Tuesday the crowd in Helitehas was hyped up by the band Joker Out, that represented Slovenia in last years Eurovision. In addition to Balkan musicians, Alika and Finnish sensation Käärijä made the crowd move their hips.
Slovenian hit band Joker out represented their country in Eurovision last year with the song "Carpe Diem". The band made it to the final and gave Slovenia the 21st spot. Surprisingly, the song claimed the 35th spot on the Raadio 2 Aastahit (Hit of the year) foreign songs leaderboard.
On Tuesday the 5th of March the band performed in Estonia for the first time, and it was the third concert in their ongoing "See You Soon" European tour. The concert in Tallinn was filled with surprises and exciting artists featured throughout the evening - Alika and Käärijä.
A visitor to the party said that the long line for the best viewing spots was already unusual. Half an hour before the doors opened the line was tens of meters long and by the time the doors opened the line was twice as long.
A majority of the audience was made up by young people. Additionally, there was many Finnish fans in the audience, who had already gone to the band's concert in Finland in the beginning of March, and who did not find it a hassle to go to the Tallinn concert as well.
Surprising Eurovision artists
The band offered many surprises to the audience that had showed up. The first of those was a really touching and heartwarming song for Estonians. Someone in the audience sent an Estonian flag to the stage and when Bojan, the soloist, had put it on his shoulders like an athlete the group who had sent the flag started singing the song "Eestlane olen ja eestlaseks jään" ("I am Estonian and I will remain Estonian" [Translator's note: patriotic protest song from the Estonian Singing Revolution]), and the remaining audience soon joined in.
There were even more surprises. In the middle of the concert the band suddenly invited Alika Milova to the stage, who represented Estonia in the big Eurovision song contest last year. The beloved Eurovision artist came on stage, waved at the audience happily, and to the joy of the audience performed her known hit song "Bridges".
The last surprise arrived when Joker Out were clapped back onto the stage after the last song for an encore. Suddenly the lights turned green and soloist Bojan started singing "Cha cha cha" by the sensation of last years Eurovision - Käärijä. A moment later Käärijä himself walked onto stage and together they sang the rest of the song while the enthralled audience screeched.
Opener chosen by lottery
The band's local opener was chosen using the fairy godmother method. Before the tour they announced on their social media that fans should name some lesser-known bands in their country that should perform as the openers for Joker Out's concert, and then they chose their opener using a raffle. For the Tallinn concert, luck was on the side of indie band Tidi&Bande.
Additionally, the Slovenian band had their own opener with them from Ireland, who talked freely and happily with the audience and among other things told an amusing story of how he ended up touring Europe with Joker Out. "One day me and my friend decided to go drink Guinness that is made there. My friend said okay and added that he will be bringing a few of his friends from Slovenia along," the Irish musician explained. After this meeting he was asked to join and sing together with the band in Europe.
Joker Out band was constantly receiving cries of joy. The majority of the audience knew all the lyrics of the songs and they sang along, the audience also knew all the lyrics to their newest song "Everybody's Waiting", that only came out in February.
Exciting tradition
It has become tradition at the band's concerts that Joker Out will let a few people in the audience sing a part of their song "Umazane Misli". There's a ritual that has developed around this song: first a sign with text is made in the style of "Can I sing part of "Umazane Misli"?" and then the sign is held up during the concert at the right time. It is sung in either Slovenian or they have prepared a version in the language of their own country, which is then performed. Rumour has it, that the tradition started when at an earlier concert they spontaneously let someone sing the song. Now singing it is tradition or even a mandatory and long awaited part of the concert.
#this article got so many things wrong lmaooo#kroonika is also very much a gossip site#joker out#i hope i'm not stepping on joker out subs' toes but iirc they don't have an estonian team#also kris being the only one to share this on his ig stories... he loves us fr#i dont have access to the video currently but if i get it and it's interesting i might post it

(affectionate)
more about his family, and old friends, pre apocalypse:
- iiris izmaylov, maiden name 'võsu', mid-40s, a jewish estonian woman who moved to russia with her family when she was a teen. she works as a wedding planner, and sometimes helps out in the small old-school bakery her sister and her sister's husband opened. - mikhail izmaylov, late 40s, a russian man, a traditional homebody who has never left the town he was born and raised in, he owned a car repair shop, and has since his twenties. always wanted arvo to turn out 'better then him'. - roza and pyotr, arvo's aunt and uncle, and their two kids, zia and luka, they were the family that they were visiting when everything went down/started.
- zakhar vasiliev, d&d club, arvo's childhood / family friend, them practically being like siblings, but also like arvo was this close to strangling him at any given time, asdfghjkl (friendship!) - tamara alekseyeva, science club, met in middle school when they were paired up for a science project which almost blew up the classroom. they, of course, got detention together. - veronika petrova, science club, yearbook club, fellow stressed overachiever and group mom-friend (bonding!)
ok back to misc headcanons:
>arvo's childhood nickname was 'bambi', along w/ being called referred to as rebenok (child), teasingly by the rest of his group. which he disliked. >another song that has him vibes is 'top of my school' by katherine lynn-rose. >arvo may seem like he had his shit together pre-apocalypse, but really, he was a big dumb disaster (affectionate)--some examples:
-snorted the powder from caffeine pills in a attempt to stay awake for a test. -went to make coffee while half asleep and forgot to put the coffee mix in, drinking half of a cup of just hot water before he realized his mistake. -got rlly stressed one time while studying, and not being able to find his glasses made him almost burst into frustrated tears (they ended up just being on his head) -forgot to eat / drink anything other then one (1) singular muffin and like 646954 cups of coffee for like, a week and got confused when he almost passed the fuck out in class.
>due to his fondness for insects/arachnids/bugs in general, instead of a normal pet, arvo had a pet tarantula as a child/pre-apocalypse, her name was zoya. natasha also had a pet, a in-training service dog, a rough collie named bolshoi, and lost him fairly early on. >i totally forgot to add these last time i drew him, so. whoops, but arvo has braces, with rubberbands, too. yes, he is tempted to go at them with pilers somedays. >at one point, arvo found a old journal, and he still uses it tbh, basically using it like a diary. he also tends to doodle in it a lot, nothing rlly good just bored scribbles. he'll also sometimes draw on his arms/skin in general. sometimes when hes bored enough, he’ll ‘doodle' math and science shit in his journal too, like catch him filling up pages with long ass polynomial problems and calculus. he finds it calming, its like second nature to him and he doesn’t have to rlly think about it. >carries around a tape recorder + tapes, he uses alongside his journal to document his days and keep track of things. >though he technically wasn’t supposed to watch them growing up, arvo is kind of a horror junkie ?? like horror movies/books/games are his kinda thing, ok. sometimes his old group used to tell stories to pass the time while traveling, or at night, and arvo highkey got banned from participating bc his stories were always scary. arvo vc: u guys are nooooo fun smh !! >a big reason arvo is into botany/plants and gardening as much as he is, is partly because he was a kid he used to help his mom garden and stuff, which sparked his interest in it. >used to take a bunch of different music lessons when he was a kid, but the only one that really stuck was piano. tho hes a lot better with copying music (playing by ear, sight reading) then he is making some thing new, or making stuff up on the spot. he tends to always think of it more logically / math-like, almost bc that's just what he finds easier. >arvo has a really bad nail biting/picking habit! it’s an anxious tic, he’ll bite/pick them down super short until they start bleeding, and will probs continue to bite them anyway bc hes stupid, asdfghjkl? he’ll also bite/pick at his cuticles until the same shit happens, (someone pls yell @ him 4 it).
>is autistic, because i said so.

Guess who’s back?
Dizem que quem gosta volta e quem ama fica, e assim foi. 5 meses depois da minha primeira vez naquele país, eu estava de volta e para ficar… pelo menos por 15 dias. 27 de Julho de 2016 As viagens já estavam compradas desde Maio e, mesmo o meu voo sendo só da parte da tarde, preferi ir um dia antes para Lisboa de forma a garantir que tudo correria da melhor maneira. 27 de Julho de 2016, por volta…

Olen viis minutit mõelnud ja ei tule midagi asjalikku
Läksime autodega kohale, viskasime telgid püsti, sõime ja tegime telkide kõrval metsas orienteerumist paarides, oma jaost jõudsime esimesena kohale. Rühmast eksisid kaks Reameest kuidagi ära, tundus võimatu aga lõpuksnsiiski nad ilmusid välja. Õhtul tuli lampi seersant meie tuppa ja tahtis seal oma käejärgi asju paika hakata panema:"Ou, mine siit oma lebomatiga minema, ma tahan siin magada", lõpuks oli kõigil suva ja keegi ei liigutanud. Seeru ütles, dt võib olla esimesena ahjuvalves, kuna ta polnud nõus muul ajal olema siis leppisime sellega kuna meie siiski võidsime sellest. Ahjuvalvega ta hakkama ei saanud ja jäi magama, ahjus kustus tuli ära ja tema magas aga kuna ta seersant siis ei tohi sellest probleemi teha.
Teisel päeval oli meditsiin ja natuke suurem orienteerumine. Sidusime rõhksidemeid ja paigaldasime skutte. Orienteerumine oli jälle paaris, jõudsime rühmast teisena tagasi, distant tuli umbes 5km ja aeg oli üle tunni veits, esimene punkt oli kuskil maja taga ja otsisim seda ümber majade umbes pool tundi. Lõpus ooatasime teise paariga järgmisi pooltundi ja viimaseid üle tunni, päris külm hakkas lõpuks kastis istudes.
Kolmandal päeval kisime lasketiirus, tegime ära A6 laskmine, mis on siis 100m, 50m ja 25m pealt laskmine, neli padrunit neljas salves ja igas kohas on aega 30 sekundit, et teha kaks lasku, salvevahetus ja veel kaks lasku. 60 punkti paksimum, alfa andis viis punkti, bravo neli ja keha kaks. Testi läbimiseks oli vaja 31 punkti, sain 41 aga see oli proovtest, et saaksim aimu, mis meid ees ootab. Seejärel lasime 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 250m ja 300m pealt, igast kohast viis kuuli, 300m pealt läks isegi paremini kui 200m ja 250m pealt. Õhtul oli veel miiniõpe, Reamees Võsu astus "miinile" ja pidime puhastama tee temani. Vahepeal leidis üks reamees veel ühe "miini" ja Leet arvas, et on hea mõte tema poole kõndima hakata, ka tema astus "miini" otsa, seega ühe vigastatu asemel oli mil neid nüüd kaks. Teed puhastatud ja hakkasime neid mööda muda vabasse alasse lohistama, hiljem võeti Võsu õlalu ja ta oksendas, nagu päriselt oksendas. Läksime magama maruhea uni oli kui äratati üles, sest tuli häire, patrull sattus vastastega kontakti. Asjasime end riide ja jooksime enda positsioonidele. Sai veits paugutatud, läksime telki ja mingi vend tegi kogemata enda püssiga veel ühe paugu, sellele järgnes koheselt uus häire ja ega ka kolmas tulemata ei jäänud. Sain tunni magada veel ja tuli minu kord olla ahjuvalves, ime, et seal magama ei jäänud.. ärkasime, sõime ja kuna meie jagu jõudis esimesena telgi kokku panna ja ära viia siis saime esimesena rännakule asuda. Raske oli aga elus ma olen.
Nüüd kasarmus, relv ja varustus hooldatud, ise pestud ja väga hea on olla üle pika aja. Täna tuleb hea uni hotellis.
