History
The band was founded in May 1990 by artists Vladimir Krasnoshchyokov and Alexei Kondratiev. At first, the musical group did not have its own name. In July of the same year, guitarist Maksim Kotomtsev joined the band.

The name Hugo-Ugo was invented by the artist Alexei Alyapkin. According to him, it was a tribute to the American band Pere Ubu.
