Sektor Gaza - WikiHQ

Sektor Gaza (, Gaza Sector) was a Soviet and Russian punk rock band from Voronezh, founded in 1987 by Yuri Klinskikh.

History

Sektor Gaza was founded in Voronezh by Yuri Klinskikh, also known as Yuri Khoy. The group is named after an industrial district of Voronezh nicknamed Sektor Gaza due to its high levels of environmental contamination (also corresponds to the Russian name of Gaza Strip). 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. The music video for "Kolkhozny pank" was shown on the youth program Do 16 i starshe... (), contributing to the group's fame across the country. They also toured Germany and Israel and performed at the Gorbunov Palace of Culture.

In October 2000, the group released a new album, Vosstavshy iz Ada (). 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. He suffered heart failure shortly thereafter. Klinskikh died in Voronezh at the age of 35.
