David Byrne

David Byrne was born in Dumbarton, Scotland, on 14 May 1952. At Rhode Island School Of Design, David studied a functional design programme known as the Bauhaus Theory course.In the early half of 1974 The Artistics ceased to exist, at which time Byrne made the decision to move to New York in order to concentrate on his songwriting. After completing their studies at RISD, Frantz and his girlfriend Tina Weymouth joined him there. Six months of private rehearsals ensued before the trio's first public performance: calling themselves Talking Heads, they opened a show by The Ramones at the nearby Bowery club CBGB. As the 1980s progressed, Talking Heads became one of the most successful bands of the decade. In 1988 David Byrne established Luaka Bop, a label that allowed the singer to make more widely available the international (particularly Brazilian) musics that interested him. During the 1990s Byrne extended his range of activity even further.

Sektor gaza (Russian: Сектор газа, literally gas sector, a word play on gas in Russian) was a Russian rock band formed on December 5, 1987 in the city of Voronezh, Russia. The group is still rather popular in Russia, despite having had a semi-official status during its existence due to obscene lyrics. The group was named after an ecologically contaminated industrial district of Voronezh, which the natives call "sektor gaza" (Gas Sector OR more literally, Sector of Gas, that is also Russian name of Gaza Strip) due to homonymy with the word gaz (Gas). Their music style could be defined as Russian punk, with addition of different musical trends, such as rock, rap and Russian folk.

A punk-opera "Kaschey-the-immortal" was released in 1994. It's a punk version of a famous Russian fairy tale with the name of the evil protagonist taken as its title. In this album Yuri has borrowed musical themes from a number popular groups such as AC/DC, Queen, Ace of Base, Nirvana, infusing them with his own lyrics. The album got into the top 10, and hypocritical journalists called "SG" "a young promising group from the back of beyond".

The group released four videoclips: "Kolkhoz punk", "Lyric", "The fog" and "It's time to return home". Together with DJ Mole Yuri arranged some "SG" remixes in techno, but because of the economical crisis in Russia and, therefore, financial problems, release of the remix album is delayed. "SG" uses four letter words in their songs, but they very rarely do it at their concerts. "I am using four letter words not for the sake of it" - admitted Yuri - "our songs are for those who can understand us. If you're stupid, you remain the same after the concert".

In November 1998 "SG" had a successful concert tour in Russia. And all the "SG" fans were looking forward to the new album.

New album "Risen from a Hell" was released in October 2000. Sadly, the band's leader Yuri, suffering from liver disease, was not destined to see the event. On July 4, 2000, Yuri "Hoy" Klinskih 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 35, he died in Voronezh (Russia). He is buried on a Levoberezhniy cemetery.

I would have to say that the best time of my life would be before i left NY all those years ago. And although it was the best time of my life all good things must eventually come to an end. I regret a great many things and events, both things i did and things i did not do. Taking myself back to those times is harsh because it hurts to remember, but all those things that happened are what made me who i am today, for better or worse.

The best time of my life was before i left NY, my life it seemed couldnt be any better. I had Friends that i couldn't ever replace. A girlfriend that i loved whole-heartedly, and a second family that it seemed. I was finding my place in this world i thought. Everything it seemed just fell into place, life was simple, fun, and more. School was simple i didnt mind being there, it was time to hang out, time to learn something new. Outside of school was time to be free and be who ever i wanted, i had little expectations that i needed to preform. thinking about how things could be was easy. Almost nothing was questioned, i could imagine how everything would be without any problems, in so many ways. but little did i know it would all end. sometimes i wish i could go back and just say no i don't want to go. But now i know nothing would be the way it is, if i had done so. it would have all ended anyways just in a different way than it did. Its only now that i look back and say i left and theres nothing i could have done to stop it. only now that i can say im happy that i actually did leave. But it doesn't hurt to wonder how different it would be.
