SKAI (formerly named SKAY, Template:Lang-uk) is a Ukrainian pop-rock band. It was formed in 2001 in Ternopil, Ukraine.
History
After the band was formed in 2001, it started to tour the country and performed at several festivals, such as Perlyny Sezonu, Tavriyski Ihry and Chervona Ruta. They became recognized by a broader audience after their appearance on the programme Fresh Blood on the Ukrainian TV channel M1. The general director Eduard Klim from Lavina Music noticed them and signed them to his label.
In 2006, their first album, Te, shcho treba, was released. The band issued their second album, Planeta S.K.A.I., in 2007.
In 2008, frontman Oleh Sobchuk was awarded the medal of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) "1020 Years of Baptism of Rus" for his participation in the rock tour with the same name.[1]
In October–November 2013, the group took part in agitational concerts "We are united" along with popular Ukrainian and Russian bands (Chaif, Bratya Karamazovy, etc.). After the concerts, some Ukrainian media wrote that the band supports pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, who probably could be one of unofficial organizers of the tour. However, since other singers disclaimed their support to Putin's politics, Oleh Sobchuk and other members of the band cancelled all cooperation with them and with any other events that could be related to politics. Later, on the official website, the musicians explained their negative position to any politic forces.
Besides, SKAI participates in numerous charity events and social initiatives.[2]
