DZIDZIO (Ukrainian: ДЗІДЗЬО) is a Ukrainian band with a comedic bent to their music.[1][2]
This band was founded on 9 September 2009 in Novoiavorivsk, Lviv Oblast.[3] It gained its popularity on the internet in part due to their "fourth member", a pig named Meison, with his snout serving as the band logo.
The band released two albums, ХА-ХА-ХА (Ha Ha Ha) (2012) DZIDZIO Хіти (DZIDZIO Hits) (2014).
DZIDZIO performed benefit concerts in support of the Euromaidan movement.[4]
The band appeared at the end of the first episode of the first season of the TV series Servant of the People and performed Sama-sama.
In March 2016, Lesyk (Oleh Turko), one of the band's founders, left the band with a scandal. According to Dzidzio (Mykhailo Khoma), Lesyk did not agree with the band's move to Kyiv, so he wanted to sell his share of property rights for UAH 5 million 200 thousand, which the other members refused to buy. As a result, Lesyk demonstratively presented his share in the band to Andriy Kuzmenko's mother at a UNIAN press conference, and guitarist Orest Halytskyi, known as Lyamur (Yulyk's godfather), joined the band.[5] According to Muzvar, the case of the band's breakup and the conflict between the members was included in the TOP-5 most famous cases of breakdowns in the Ukrainian music industry.[6]
Since 2017, the band has consisted of four musicians - Dzidzio, L'amour, Agrus and Rumbambar.
