Soviet band likes rock, not glasnost
By Kathryn Lancaster
Kansan staff writer
A new order is coming of age in the Soviet Union.
Travel restrictions are being lifted, and people are demanding greater freedoms. Some call it glassor or openness. Others call it chase.
Gaza, a Soviet rock band, financed their U.S. tour with loans.
Out of it all comes one new band, Gaza.
Gaza is the first underground Soviet rock band to perform in the United States. "Rock, not Rockets," is the band's rally cry.
The band will perform at 9:30 tonight on the Homestead Grays at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. and their only performance in Kansas.
Gaza's lead guitarist, Azamat Isboyev, actively advocates the need for a groundbreaking multimedia cultural exchange in the city. A student in Ann Arbor, Mich., who is
helping to sponsor the band's U.S. tour.
"They don't want to talk about glasnost," Casad said. "They don't believe in it. Soviet rock, music, that's what they want to talk about."
The band arrived in the United States on March 31 and performed that night in Am Arbor without their Captain Caasid said. Because a government office had refused to authorize his travel documents, Isobeyev arrived four days late.

Gaza, a four-member band from Moscow, borrowed money for their U.S. tour through Paganel, an unofficial student organization at Moscow State University. Free Association, a U.S. group that Casas is working with, will performances and taking care of Gaza's performances while the band is in the country.

Isoboyev, who also is Paganel's cultural program director, helped develop the Surface to Surface campaign. The campaign lives by the theory that "Rock, not Rockets" will make the world a better place.
Their sound has been called "dirty pop," "heavy metal" and "new wave." Casad said.
The group first performed on stage last April, but band members have been active in the Soviet music scene for several years.
Pagel raises money to support cultural exchanges between East and West through the Surface to Surface campaign, Casad said.
"They are very into the idea that music culture is the key to a new culture," he said. "They have a lot to say."
