Luk was formed in 1999. The name was given accidentally without special meaning (люк means manhole). After released four studio albums Luk declared its break up in 2011.

Luk collaborated with Kharkiv-based Ukrainian writer Serhiy Zhadan. Most of their Ukrainian-language songs were witten in lyrics of Zhadan (in particular the first album Tourist zone is based on Zhadan's play "Merry Christmas, Jesus Christ"). Also Luk recorded a lot of songs with 5'Nizza member Andriy Zaporozhets (in particular the second album is a result of collaboration with Zaporozhets). Their third album contains two songs recorded with other 5'Nizza musician Serhiy Babkin.

[ru] Lюk

«Lюk» — украинский музыкальный коллектив, образованный весной 1999 года в городе Харькове. Группа исполняет музыку в стилях эйсид-джаз, лаундж и рок на русском, украинском, французском и итальянском языках[1]. Сами участники затрудняются определить стиль своей музыки: «Каждый раз решаем, что вот этот альбом нужно сделать целостный, но в итоге <…> получается у нас винегрет, и как это называется мы не в курсе»[2].
