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 like Perlyny sezonu, Tavriyski ihry and Chervona ruta. They became more known to 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 saw them and signed them to his label.
In 2006 their first album, Te, shcho treba, was released. They released their second album Planeta S.K.A.Y. 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", which were organized by pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk in Ukrainian cities.
