The name of the group "TIK" is an abbreviation of the first words of the phrase "Sobriety and Culture". This is a rock band that also plays in the style of ska, created in Vinnitsa in the summer of 2005.
The idea of creating a group arose back in 2000 among its founders - Viktor Bronyuk, he then studied at the historical faculty of the Pedagogical University in Vinnitsa, and Denis Repey, who was a student at a music school.
Three years later, new members joined in the person of Kostya Terepa and Alexander Filinkov.
Despite the fact that at first they liked their musical material, Oleg Zbarashchuk contributed to the appearance of the TIK group in their first performance in order to see the public's reaction to such unusual, in his words, creativity.
On June 2, 2005, the Talita Kum team began its tour of Ukraine, produced by Oleg Zbarashchuk. This date is considered the day of the creation of the TIK group, because it was then that they first appeared on stage in Vinnitsa "as an opening act" for this group.
The listeners took them positively, thanks to which it was decided to work together with the producer.
The band's first demo recording, which appeared later, was heard by Vitaly Telezin, a sound engineer who works with well-known Ukrainian bands.
He was so interested that he invited the group to work together at his own recording studio "211".
