The group "Disco Accident" officially began its creative activity in 1990. Perhaps this is one of the longest-lived groups in the domestic show business. However, over time, even such a solid friendly team has undergone changes in its composition.
The past of the group
The founders of the group, Nikolai Timofeev and Alexei Ryzhkov, studied together, played in KVN and acted as organizers of discos. Their main place of work was the Avariya nightclub, later together they began to work on Europa Plus radio. Ivanovo”, in their program they condemned new music, and also performed cover versions of popular compositions.
In 1997, the Disco Crash group released their album, which was successfully sold in the Ivanovo region. Two years later, young people began to storm Moscow, their compositions were included in the collections "Move your booty!", "Union 23", "Union 24" and "Union 25". Since this year, the group has become popular throughout Russia.
On February 9, 2002, Oleg Zhukov died of a brain tumor at the age of twenty-ninth.
There were also changes in the composition of the group on the way to the musical Olympus. So, at the beginning of his career, in 1992, Oleg Zhukov joined them, for some time he acted as a frontman, a little later he somewhat faded into the background. However, it is thanks to him that the group owes the popularity of the Pepsi Disco Service commercial.
In 1996, Alexey Serov joined the group, who studied at the same school with Nikolai Timofeev. Alexey is currently the soloist of the ensemble.
Present time
The former friends got together in court in 2012, accusing each other of illegal uses of creative material created over the years.
In 2012, the well-coordinated working team nevertheless disintegrated. The soloist and leader of the group Nikolai Timofeev was forced to leave the "Disco Avaria". The reason for this was a creative discord, relations with colleagues came to a standstill in the development of a musical product.
Currently, Nikolai is engaged in a solo career, with him some musicians left the collective. As a soloist, he has already released several compositions that have found their audience - "Start over again", "You excite me" and "My autumn".
In November 2012, on the recommendation of one of the jury members of the X-Factor (Season 3) show, Sergei Parkhomenko was taken to the semi-finalist Anna Khokhlova. Together with her, "Disco Crash" released such popular compositions as "K. U. K. L. A.", "Swing", "After School", "Like mi" and others.
The current composition of the group consists of Anna Khokhlova, Alexey Serov and Alexey Ryzhkov.
