AUKTYON (АукцЫон) - the unique phenomenon on the contemporary music scene of Russia: in contrast to the majority of genre-challenged and as a rule stylistically within the framework of contemporary canons, this group draws its inspiration from such remote sources as ska, reggae, new-jazz, ethnic music of North Africa and Middle East, beat- and pop-music of the 60’s; in spite of the eternally present messianic idea in Russian rock and its inherited didacticism, this group did not teach as much as it entertained, which apparently resulted in it being the only representative of Russia on the European club scene.
In different forms and under different names, the group exists approximately since 1978, however, its current name, AUKTYON received only in May of 1983, when it was granted a membership in the Leningrad Rock Club, and its present appearance, style, and core musicians were formed in spring of 1986, when the group was triumphant on the stage of the 4th Leningrad Rock Club Festival in the following line up: Leonid Fedorov (guitar, vocal), Oleg Garkusha (dance, vocal), Sergei Rogozhin (vocal), Victor Bondarik (bass), Dmitriy Ozerskiy (keyboards, vocal), Nikolai Rubanov (saxophone, flutes), Nikolai Fedorovich (saxophone), and Igor Cheridnik (drums). In one year, AUKTYON was repeatedly successful in the 5th festival, after which Sergei Rogozhin left the group for the pop-band FORUM, while the percussionist Pavel Litvinov strengthened the rhythm section. The second guitarist - Dmitriy Matkovksiy from the cult band of the early 80’s MANUFAKTURA - joined AUKTYON that fall.

I don't have Cyrillic characters on my keyboard either but there's a really handy tool called "copy and paste" and you can go and paste АукцЫон in your favourite media player and you're done!

i agree, this is not an incorrect tag. i know someone in the radio biz who received promo material from the band and this is how the band's name was spelled.

How can this be an incorrect tag? I, for example, don't have cyrillic characters on my keyboard.
