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 interpretations
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.

Who was
Yuri "Hoy" Klinskih?
by: Marlowe T. Peck
Yuri "Hoy" Klinskih was born on the 27th of July, 1964, in Russia. He was generally among the poorer students in most of his classes, lacking in both discipline and ambition. His report cards were plagued with "satisfactories" (the lowest passing mark in Russia). However, he often did well in the male equivalent of Home Economics, which taught boys to repair household items.
Hoy was fond of rock and roll, having older brothers who listened to the genre, and wrote many songs during his military service and employment in a plant. On the 5th of December, 1987, a group by the name of Sektor Gaza (Gas Sector) formed in the city of Voronezh. Sektor Gaza was named after an ecologically devastated industrial zone of Voronezh the natives referred to as "the gas sector."
Sektor Gaza became among the first bands to swear onstage, something that attracted much attention. All layers of the Russian social stratosphere could be found at Sektor Gaza concerts. "Authorities say we're indecent, we're forbidden by censorship, but, as far as I know, all these officials listen to our music on the sly, it's like watching porno." - Hoy.
Because of the shocking content, Sektor Gaza songs could not be played on the radio and Hoy was rarely seen on the television. Despite censorship, Sektor Gaza quickly became among the most popular bands in Russia. In 1997, Hoy began to experiment with drugs. "I was lucky not to get used to them." - Hoy. Understanding gained from his experience lead to the release of the album "Narcotic Testing University of Millions."
On the 4th of July, 2000, Yuri "Hoy" Klinslih began to feel a strong pain 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" hoping that the pain would simply fade away. Soon afterwards, his heart stopped. At the age of 36, he died of either diabetes of alcohol overdose.
The band continues under the new name of “Eks-Sektor Gaza.”
