Starting the band [1]
Though the name of the band JURE! and the others makes it seem as though Jure is the main guy in the band, this is not quite true. The idea for creating this band was mainly Andrej’s.
Andrej grew up with rich parents, always being used to getting all he wanted and having more money than he needed. But still, as he later moved out and his family started growing, it was up to him as the leader of the family to make sure there’s enough money for everyone. And he wasn’t aiming for an average comfortable lifestyle. Growing up he was used to only the best, and he wanted to provide the same standard for everyone in his family. Though more people meant more sources of income, Andrej would still resort to various scams to earn even more money. And his creativity had no limit when it came to inventing new ways to get money out of people. It was only a matter of time when he would come up with the idea to start a band. It seemed perfect, he could get a few friends together and let them do most of the work, while he would get the money and the cool title of being in a band.
Finding friends to join his band seemed fairly easy, he already knew a few people who would fit the role perfectly.
First one of these was his best friend Tadej. He was always up for any plan Andrej had and was already quite the music lover. He already learnt to play drums in high school, and he wouldn’t miss out on an opportunity to put this skill to good use.
Next was Nina’s new husband, Jure. He was creative and has been writing poems since a very young age. It was one of his favorite ways to express his thoughts and feelings, and just being creative. By now, he’s gotten pretty good at it. However, this was always a very personal thing to him. He would rarely show off any of his works to people other than Nina and he never felt the need to make money off of it. But when Andrej presented him with the idea of joining the band, he had to take it into consideration. It didn’t seem as much of a scam as Andrej made it out to be, it was actually honest work, and Jure wouldn’t mind doing some honest work to help out his family with money. And after all, what are your talents worth if you don’t share them with your loved ones. Andrej chose Jure to be the frontman of the band, as he was the nicest and most personable out of the bunch. He figured that Jure’s friendly demeanor would be helpful in getting them fans.
But the band was not yet complete. Jure agreed to join, but only under one condition: if Simon can join too. Jure and Simon have been inseparable since childhood and were used to always doing everything together, there was no way Jure would join a band without him. Simon himself wouldn’t mind that though. He was a shy guy who didn’t want this kind of attention, and was skeptical about joining at first, though it seemed like a cool idea. After some convincing from the others, he occupied the very important spot of the 3rd guy in the band. He was perfect for it, as someone who would prefer to stay in the background anyway.
