Хлам (2)
[b]Khlam[/b] (Хлам, meaning "junk" or "trash") is a Russian psychedelic punk-jazz band from Bryansk, formed by [url=https://discogs.com/artist/2525966]Vova Terekh[/url] in 1988. Inspired by Western rock, heavy metal, punk, new wave music and performances of Soviet rockers, notably [url=https://discogs.com/artist/210104]Zvuki Mu[/url], he formed a conceptual collective HLAM and started playing radical and avant-garde garage punk. The band was praised both by Russian and foreign critics as one of the most original and unorthodox punk collectives from ex-USSR. They performed with many other notable bands, including [url=https://discogs.com/artist/680274]Polite Refusal[/url] and [url=https://discogs.com/artist/133408]Notchnoi Prospekt[/url]. Khlam went on an extended hiatus while Vova Terekh worked on different projects, produced records for [a=Distemper (2)] and [url=https://discogs.com/artist/1598782]Mister Twister[/url], and also acted as a tour manager for [url=https://discogs.com/artist/2126872]Matrossskaya Tishina[/url]. More than a decade after their heyday, Terekh decided to reunite the band with a new line-up: sax player Sergey Letov, jazz drummer Rafkhat Badretdinov, and contrabassist Vadim Pravilov, occasionally joined by [a=Alexei Tegin] on guitar. Raf and Terekh also formed [url=https://discogs.com/artist/1462617]RИVUЩИЕ STRUNЫ[/url] with [url=https://discogs.com/artist/1243609]Alexei Bortnichuk[/url] in 2006.
