Just then some graduates of Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University finally understood that music in their life was something more than just students' entertainment and started rehearsals. At that time the band consisted of: Viktor Broniuk – vocal and bayan; Denis Repei - bass guitar; Konstantin Terepa – guitar; Aleksandr Filinkov – drums. By chance the producer Oleg Zbarashchuk attended one of the rehearsals. Frankly speaking his reaction to the musicians' creative work was negative but he got interested as it was something new unlike generally accepted musical-style patterns. As you know to estimate the goods one should offer them to consumers, in this case to listeners. That what we did. On the 2nd of June the band TIK appeared on the stage for "warming up" of the band "TALITA KUM" and presented its works before the auditorium of many thousands. The debut was successful and exactly that day – the 2nd of June – is considered to be the birthday of the band TIK. Then we had a serious talk with Oleg Zbarashchuk followed by fruitful work on enlargement of the repertoire and creation of the band's first demo-record. Exactly that disk found itself in the hands of Vitalii Telezin (a respected Ukrainian Sound Producer who worked on the sound of the band “Okean Elzy”, VV, “Druga rika”, Lama and others) and he agreed to record TIK at his studio “211”. Against the background of the promising future that was still far the band membership changed greatly. During 2006 the bass guitarist Denis Repei, saxophonist and keyboardist Yurii Martseniuk left the team for their own business as well as guitarist Kostia Terepa who had left the team a bit earlier. The original group was represented only by Vitia Broniuk and Sasha Filinkov. Certainly it was difficult but nobody was going to stop. Then there were advertisements, castings, trials, nerves and by the beginning of May the TIK band was renewed already. Sergei Fedchyshyn became a bass-guitarist, Zhenia Zykov – a keyboardist, it was new for the band to have a trumpeter – Yan Nikitchuk. After a month of everyday rehearsals, on May 26, the renewed group appeared on the stage of Zhytomyr. Simultaneously the song “Oleni” (“Deer”) was recorded together with the band “Liapis Trubetskoi” at the studio “211”. None of the band members rested in summer and despite of the heat we stubbornly worked on the first debut album “ ЛІТЕРАDYPA” which was already known to the residents of Lviv, Khmelnitskiy, Balta, Vinnytsia. On September 24, 2006 the joint work “Oleni” of TIK and Liapis Trubetskoi started being rotated over the national radio and on October 5-6 a clip for the song “Oleni” was shot at A.P. Dovzhenko Film Studio that was released on November 12. Frankly speaking the country reacted to appearance of “Oleni” rather ambiguously. Opinions differed as usual. Someone ascribed political framework to the song, someone was shocked by the direct simplicity and naivety. But the song was talked about and that was the most important thing, that was a small victory of TIK. The song could be heard everywhere: from the cars passing by, in offices and it was simply sung live to the guitar in the streets. However, in spite of the pleasant moments and victories TIK continued working hard and from that time – at the studio “211” of Vitalii Telezin. Step by step, song by song the album was written. It was to be finished in February 2007 but the creative process was delayed a little and the record was finished at the beginning of April. At the same time a new video work of TIK for the song “Vchytelka” (“Teacher”) went on television, its authors were from the same creative group known due to the “Oleni”: Director Roman Verkulich and Operator Dmitrii Yashenkov. Everyone was looking forward to the album appearance. On May 27 TIK presented its debut album “ЛІТЕРАDYPA” in Kiev club “Dictator” that included 11 songs and 2 bonus videos. And then it started... Concerts, festivals, rotations of new songs from the debut alum. The guys organized more than 50 concerts during summer including 2 concerts in Poland: on the City Day in Kielce and at the holiday of Lemki Culture “Lemkivska Vatra” in Gdynia. The guys also received rewards. On the 24th of August the musicians performed at the festival “Independence Day with Makhno” (Guliaipole, Zaporizhia region). The festival organizers – art association “Posledniaia barrikada” - awarded a premium “Makhno's discovery of the year” to the band TIK. At the beginning of November the band presented its third video for the song “Apriel” (“April”) and started preparing for the All Ukrainian tour thoroughly. Rehearsals and continuous concerts gave self-confidence to the guys and already in February 2008 a single and video for the song “Proshchaite divchata” (“Goodbye girls”) appeared, it became a leitmotif of the complete tour. On the 11th of March TIK began the All Ukrainian tour “Baiky pro Oleniv” (“Fairy-tales about Deer”) in native Vinnitsa. The guys performed 35 concerts in 27 cities of Ukraine within two months and terminated their triumphal tour only once – on the 20th of March. Just on that day the guys received a musical prize in one of eight nominations of the “First Music Jam-FM-Premium NePopsa” named “Best debut of 2007”. On May 1, 2008 the tour finished at the festival “Tavriiski Igry” where TIK appeared on the main stage with a complete solo program. Here the guys sang the mega-smash hit “Belyie rozy” (“White roses”) in Ukrainian for the first time and presented the video for the song “Sosiura” . The clip was made during one of the tour concerts and it conveyed the unique positive energetics of TIK in full. On June 2, 2008 the guys celebrated “trezvo i kulturno” (soberly and in a civilized manner) the third anniversary of the group and decided to dedicate the summer not only to concerts but also to the record of the second album. On the 28th of July the studio of Vitalii Telezin “211” hospitably opened the door for implementation of all the creative ideas of Viktor Broniuk but that did not prevent the latter from taking one of the most important steps in his private life. Vitia got married and the team of Roman Verkulich made a clip for the composition “Bili troyandy” (“White roses”) at the wedding. On the 25th of September the Ukrainian music lovers were presented the second album of the band named “tyKHYI” . In November a new video for the song “Svieta” was presented to the public, its Director was Alan Badoiev. At the same time despite the financial crisis the band Producer started preparing for the second All Ukrainian tour of the band TIK that traditionally was held in spring. The All Ukrainian tour “tyKHYI” included 50 solo concerts. On the 31st of March the band TIK finished its tour “tyKHYI” with a big “Anti-crisis concert” in the Palace of Sports gathering 7 thousand people. In September a new video clip for the song “Sirozhyne Pirozhyne” was presented. That was the second joint work of the band TIK and Alan Badoiev. In February 2010 a clip for the song “Choloviche shchastia” (“Men's happiness”)was released. On February 25, 2010 continuation of the romantic comedy “Love in the big city-2” was released. The composition “Oleni” of the band TIK became a soundtrack to the movie. The famous song of Vinnitsa band sounded during the culmination scene when the heroes had to take the most important decisions of their life. On the 16th of March the third All Ukrainian “Narodnyi tur” (“Folk tour”) began with a grand concert in Kiev Palace of Sports, it was distinguished by the participation of local groups. On February 21, 2011 the band TIK performed a grand “Estradno-Simfonicheskii Bombicheskii concert” with participation of the Song and Dance Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine directed by Dmitrii Antoniuk. 97 performers appeared on the stage at a time. The concert was broadcast live by the First National television channel. On June 3, 2011 the band TIK took part in the tribute record of “ Gadiukiny brothers” and together they sang the song “ Misku, vvazhai”. On the 1st of September TIK made a clip for the composition “Ne tsilui” (“Don't kiss”) that was performed with Iryna Bilyk . It was shot on the unfinished bridge near Trukhanov Island. And in October 2011 Vinnitsa band presented its third album named “Vesilnyi”. Immediately after that the group went for the fourth All Ukrainian tour that had the same name as the album “Vesilnyi”. On the 15th of November TIK performed a large “Vesilnyi” concert in Kiev Palace of Sports which special guest was the Ukrainian singer Iryna Bilyk. She performed the songs “Ne tsilui”, “Doroga v nikudy” and “Chorni ochka, iak teren” together with Viktor Broniuk. At the beginning of December 2011 the band shot a clip for the song “Guliai, narod!” which suits New Year and Christmas holidays perfectly. On January 26, 2012 the movie “Rzhevskiy vs Napoleon”, in which the band TIK acted,was released in Ukraine. In the movie the band participants acted as merry musicians and performed their famous song “Sirozhyne Pirozhyne” at Napoleon's wedding.
