Sektor Gaza (Russian: Сектор Газа, translated as Gas Sector)[note 1] was a Russian punk rock band from Voronezh, founded in 1987 by Yuri Klinskikh.
History[]
Sektor Gaza was founded in Voronezh by Yuri Klinkskikh, also known as Yuri "Khoi".[2] The group is named after an industrial district of Voronezh nicknamed Sektor Gaza due to its high levels of environmental contamination.[1][3] Sektor Gaza's first performance as a group occurred at the local rock club on 9 June 1988, but the group's official date of establishment is traditionally given as 5 December 1987, the date of Klinskikh's first solo performance of material from Sektor Gaza's future repertoire at the Voronezh rock club.[2]
In 1989, the group recorded the demo tapes Plugi-vugi (Russian: Плуги-вуги, lit. 'Plows-woogie (i.e., pun on "Boogie-woogie")') and Kolhoznyj pank (Russian: Колхозный панк, lit. 'Kolkhoz Punk').[2]
In 1990, the group recorded the albums Zloveschie Mertvetsy (Russian: Зловещие Мертвецы, lit. 'The Evil Dead') and Yadryona Vosh (Russian: Ядрёна Вошь, lit. 'Vigorous Louse') in a professional recording studio in Voronezh. Klinskikh sold his motorcycle in order to afford to rent the studio.[2]
In 1991, Sektor Gaza made their television debut, appeared on the popular programs 50x50 and Programma A (Russian: Программа А) on the Central Television of the USSR.[3][4] The music video for "Kolhoznyj pank" (Russian: «Колхозный панк», lit. 'Kolkhoz punk') was shown on the youth program Do 16 i starshe... (Russian: До 16 и старше...), contributing to the group's fame across the country.[3] In the same year, the group recorded the album Noch pered Rozhdestvom (Russian: Ночь перед Рождеством, lit. 'The Night Before Christmas') at the Mir studio in Moscow, and rerecorded the album Kolhoznyj pank at Gala Records.[2][3]
In 1992, Sektor Gaza released their sixth studio album, Gulyai, muzhik! (Russian: Гуляй, мужик!) and toured extensively.[2]
In 1993, the group released Nazhim na gaz (Russian: Нажми на газ, lit. 'Hit the gas').[2]
In 1994, Sektor Gaza released Kashchey Bessmertnyi (Russian: Кащей Бессмертный, lit. 'Kashchey the Immortal'), a punk-opera based on the famous Russian folklore figure. On this album, Klinskikh performed original lyrics to the melodies of songs by popular groups such as AC/DC, Queen, Ace of Base, and Nirvana.[2] The album ranked in the top 10, and journalists called Sektor Gaza "a young promising group from the back of beyond".[citation needed]
In 1995, the group performed at the Rock Summer festival in Tallinn.[5] They also toured Germany and Israel and gave a concert at the Gorbunov Palace of Culture.[3]
In 1996, Sektor Gaza released Gazovaya Ataka (Russian: Газовая Атака), which marked a change in the group's style and a move away from obscene lyrics. The music video for the track "Tuman" (Russian: «Туман», lit. 'Fog') off this album made it into the rotation of many Russian television channels.[2][3]
In 1997, the group released Narcologichesky Universitet Millionov (Russian: Наркологический Университет Миллионов, lit. 'Narcological University of Millions'). The song "Pora domoj" (Russian: «Пора домой», lit. 'Time to go home') from this album became a hit.[2][3]
In the summer of 1998, Klinskikh and Aleksey Bryantsev (DJ Krot) arranged some Sektor Gaza songs as techno remixes, which were released on the album Extasy in 1999.[2][6] In November 1998, Sektor Gaza toured Russia.[citation needed]
In October 2000, the group released a new album, Vosstavshij iz ada (Russian: Восставший из Ада, lit. 'Hellraiser'). Klinskikh's health was in decline due to liver disease. On 4 July 2000, Klinskikh complained of strong pains in his stomach and the left side of his chest. He chose not to cancel a meeting later that day to film a music video for the song "Noch Straha" (Russian: «Ночь страха», lit. 'Fright Night'). He suffered heart failure shortly thereafter. Klinskikh died in Voronezh at the age of 35. He is buried in the Levoberezhniy Cemetery.
