Here´s a travel report of Joost Lijbaart in Dutch.
In September 2008 the new CD `Some Frump Punk´ was released at Trytone.
9 brand new compositions by Frank Wingold and Mark Haanstra. Agog sounds more subtile and melodic than ever. Check the CD site.

In the beginning of may 2008 agog played in India. We had concerts in Mumbai (Bombay) in probably the fancies club we ever played in (Blue Frog), in Bangalore and in Goa. It´s such a different world and we loved the people and the country. Great experience!
In summer/autumn 2008 the new agog CD will be released. The new repertoire will be presented at a concert in Cologne, a tour in India in May and a series of concerts in the Netherlands in autumn. For Tourdates see here.

Spring 2005, agog will start the new project `agog plays radiohead´ with Jozef Dumoulin (piano & rhodes) and Jasper Blom (saxophone & electronics). The quintet will play pieces and parts of the british band Radiohead. Don't expect covers but a lively and very personal approach to the music. In May '05 they will do a try-out tour with this program through the Netherlands. For details check the toudates.
