Esthetic Education was formed in 2004 after Dima and Iura left Ukraine's most successful rock band and decided to form Esthetic Education with Louis. Immediately after its first concert on September 4th 2004, the band was hailed as the new voice for post-soviet rock music and quickly established its distinctive voice in the Ukrainian and Russian show business. 2005/2006 has been extremely active for the band. They have shot three video clips, released a Maxi Single on Lavina Records (Ukraine). They have released a live album "Live at Ring" on "Soyuz". The band is featured with "Stereolab", "Be your own Pet" and "The young Gods".
Their video clip "Leave us Alone" aired on MTV Russia and their song "Machine" was number one on the hit parade of Ukraine's Music Channel M1, and was number 1 for 3 weeks in a row on radio Maximum in Russia.
