When attitudinizing Ukrainian rockers Aesthetic Education (then spelled "Esthetic Education") hit the scene in 2004, with Brit Pop beats, misplaced melodies, and a contemptuous persona, they became darlings of the media, hailed as the new intelligent voice of Post-Soviet rock music. Since then, they have been Ukraine's perennial fish out of water, self-consciously highbrow, conceptual and "European." Aesthetic Education is a rock group with an international cast of musicians, including former members of the successful Ukrainian ensemble, Okean Elzi Yuriy Hustochka (bass guitar) and Dimitriy Shurov (keyboards). They are joined by Belgian director, photographer and eye-candy Louis Franck (vocals) and Tolya Shmargun (drums).
In December of 2004 the group debuted with the album Face Reading and toured in Europe.
