Sektor Gaza
Sektor Gaza (Russian Сектор Газа, or "gas sector" was the name of a well-known punk band from Voronesh, Russia, founded in 1987. Apart from the band leader, Yuri Nikolaevich Klinskikh (nicknamed Hoy) all other band members were replaced over time. The band's style of music can be described as melodic and experimental; the content varied from political songs to mystical songs about zombies and vampires, as well as interpretationss of Russian folk songs and rock ballads. The band's name is apparently an homage to their home town, Voronesh, to which people also refer to as “gas chamber”. In one of their earliest songs, the band claims that the town is so polluted that nobody ever reaches the age of 40. Indeed, in 2000, the band leader Yuri Hoj already died at the young age of 36.
