ViRUS! (Template:Lang-ru) is a Russian band, formed in 1999, and currently composed of Olga Laki, Yuri Stupnik (DJ Doctor) and Andrey Gudas. ViRUS! produced techno-based pop music. The band was at the peak of its popularity in 1999-2001, and disappeared from the mainstream of Russian pop music after releasing several popular songs.
History
Stupnik and Gudas attended the High School of Zelenograd (near Moscow) in 1998. Initially working as a duo, they were later joined by a female vocalist, fellow high school student Olga, who was then singing the House of Culture.[clarification needed] The group were originally known as Akvarel ("Watercolor"), then Vot Tak ("That's How"). In 1998 their record was discovered by producers Igor Seliverstov and Leonid Velichkovskiy. They renamed themselves to Virus and released their first album, Do not try to find me.
The band's successful hits included "Schastye (Счастье)/Happiness/", "Poproshu tebya (Попрошу Тебя)/Ask you/", "Papa (Папа)/Father/", "Vsyo proydyot (Всё пройдёт)/Everything will pass/", and Ya lyublyu tebya, malysh (Я люблю тебя, малыш)/I love you baby/.
Virus toured in Germany, Russia, Israel, USA, Estonia, and other countries. Their song "alsou" was played on multiple radio stations. In 2005 they were involved in naming dispute involving LUCKY, DJ Doctor and DJ Chip, culminating in the rebranding of the band as ViRUS!.
