In the course of Perestroika and glasnost by Mikhail Gorbachev , the music scene also came out of the underground. Two from this scene, Boris Bardasch and Andrei Lavrinenko , got together in 1989 and founded Ole Lukkoye. Soon afterwards Frol joined them.

Ole Lukkoye's music is a mixture of bombast rock from the '70s - here mainly influences from space rock à la Hawkwind and Krautrock - with oriental sounds and shamanistic influences from Tuva and Siberia, where the young band had traveled for inspiration .

In 1993 the first LP Zapara came on the market. In 1996 the West became aware of the band when their debut Zapara was released on CD at the same time as the second album Toomze .

Ole Lukkoye have built a fan base in Germany. They have been playing regularly in Germany since 1999, including at the Herzberg Festival and in 2005 at the Klangbad Festival .

The co-founder of the German krautrock band Faust , Hans-Jochen Irmler, has been the producer of Ole Lukkoye since the album Crystal Crow-Bar .
