This band was founded on 9 September 2009 in Novoiavorivsk, Lviv Oblast. 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.
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. 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.
Since 2017, the band has consisted of four musicians - Dzidzio, L'amour, Agrus and Rumbambar.
