The trio consists of Nikolay Stagoranovich Timofeev (Тимофеев Николай Стагоранович), Aleksey Borisovich Serov (Серов Алексей Борисович) and Aleksey Olegovich Ryzhov (Рыжов Алексей Олегович). Originally, the band also contained a fourth member, Oleg Zhukov (Олег Жуков), who died on February 9, 2002 of cancer.
Although Avaria knew only moderate success in Russia during the 1990s, they are considered to be pioneers of house music in that country, as the genre only started to appear there around 2000. Following Zhukov's decease in 2002, the trio slowly lost original popularity and oriented themselves into a mainstream electropop movement. There have been no studio releases from them since 2006.
