![]() Nace: And, as an interesting fact, most of them broke up while on tour.īojan: You can’t do rock and roll and be devoted to your music, concerts, travels, if you’re constantly under the influence of any substances (drugs, alcohol). If we look at all the most famous bands, they actually existed for a very short time. In a short time, I’ve realised that this rock and roll lifestyle presented to us by rock legends (myths, stories, Hollywood) is truly something that is untenable in the long term. Since you really hang out with each other so much, do you perhaps understand any better why some bands get into fatal quarrels or even break up?īojan: We definitely understand it a lot more. If we end up needing another holiday after this holiday, then we didn’t make a very wise decision. As to whether us going together is smart, we’ll tell you when we come back. Can you reveal where you’re going?īojan: Far away, somewhere warm. You really have to love each other and have a good time together, that’s all I thought. Nace: Everyone has the same stunned reaction that you did. Well, we maybe planned our break a little poorly, because we’re going on a holiday together. So you’ll only be able to turn off for a bit, after your big concert in Stožice?īojan: That’s right. ![]() Just the other day, we were talking about how we haven’t truly rested since the pre-Eurovision performances. My mind and body are now really begging to switch off. We haven’t had any rest ever since everything became much more intense. What about mental preparation? Do you have to pay extra attention to that or do anything you’ve never done before?īojan: Yes, we have to rest. You’ve found yourselves at a turbulent stage in your career, and like you’ve said before, you cannot be fully prepared for that. ![]() Nace: So: we work out a lot, we play badminton, I run, we go to the gym and hike, Bojan also does mixed martial arts. Nace: Well, you and I work out, the others only do it a little. How’s your health doing with your (as it seems if you look at the crazy number of concerts all around Europe) pretty exhausting life? How do you take care of your physical fitness? Jan Peteh and Kris Guštin (damn, he’s tall!) are busy with another camera, and Jure Maček is nowhere to be seen. A few more steps, and we plop down on the couch with Bojan Cvjetićanin and Nace Jordan. No one prepared them for this kind of craze, but they’re holding up pretty well – they’re still humble guys with good manners, which can (also) be seen in their polite greeting and relaxed chatting in front of their rehearsal space, a comfortable hideaway somewhere between Ljubljana’s warehouses with an unappealing blue door.įloating into their sanctuary, you almost hit your head on a collection of hanging bras with various affectionate messages written on them. At sold-out concerts, Finns are swooning because of them, Poles, Serbians, Croatians and Spaniards are fainting, not to mention the girls back home. They are the most popular musical group right now, and they’ve thoroughly conquered many hearts far beyond both Slovenian and Balkan borders. The time we have with them is tightly limited, but that’s appropriate for stars of their kind. Born on in Kaarina, Finland, the artist died in Helskinki, Finland on November 7, 1991.On the couch with Joker Out: about the big changes in their lives Still good, sober boys We’ll play this and then we’re off – to switch off In 2013, the exhibition “Bob Mizer & Tom of Finland” held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles offered a comprehensive survey of his work, and Finish national stamps featuring Laaksonen's drawings were released in 2014. The critical reception of his work has shifted in tandem with changing political landscapes-prior to the 1970s, Laaksonen's art was either censored or rejected by mainstream culture, whereas after the end of the 20th century, his illustrations have been championed by gay activists and fine arts institutions alike. A naked man is, of course, beautiful, but dress him in black leather or a uniform-ah, then is more than beautiful, he is sexy!” Both the content and militaristic style of his work was informed by the artist’s time spent serving in the Finnish armed forces, and he originally began creating his erotic drawings for his own entertainment. “To me, a fully dressed man is more erotic than a naked one. “I almost never draw a completely naked man,” he once explained.
