"Agon" is a Ukrainian musical group, which was created in 2016. The soloists of the group are individuals who are not without fame.
The soloists of the Quest Pistols group decided to change the musical trend, so from now on they work under the new creative pseudonym "Agon".
The history of the creation and composition of the musical group Agon
The date of birth of the musical group "Agon" is the beginning of 2016. The initiator of the creation of the group are Konstantin Borovsky, Nikita Goryuk and Anton Savlepov. In this composition, the team remains to this day (with the exception of one member), although the history of creation begins with a completely different group.
In 2007, dance fans first saw the soloists of the musical group Quest Pistols. Young people from the dance show Quest, who were previously known as dancers, decided to try their hand at something new.
Young people filled with positive released the track "I'm tired" into the music world. Few people know that the song "I'm tired" is a cover version of Long and Lonesome Road by the musical group Shocking Blue.
For the first time, the song "I'm tired" performed by the Quest Pistols group was performed on one of the Kyiv stages. The public reacted positively to the novelty.
The soloists of the musical group released a video clip for the track. At the end of the year they released their debut album, which went platinum.
The popularity of young musicians increased when they presented a cover version of the song "White Dragonfly of Love". The author of this track is Nikolai Voronov.
The soloists of the Quest Pistols group heard Voronov's performance on YouTube and made the track in their own way. A little later, a video clip was released for the musical composition.
In 2009, the popularity of the guys went far beyond the borders of their native Ukraine. In the same year they released their second studio album. Konstantin Borovsky decided to leave the team, and Danya Matseychuk took his place.
A few years later, Daniel also left the team. He joined Konstantin, and the young people created their own clothing brand.
There have been changes in the Quest Pistols group. Now the musical group consisted of only two members. As a duet, the guys toured Russia and Ukraine.
In 2014, the group underwent dramatic changes. During the year, among the soloists of the group were: Mariam Turkmenbayeva, Washington Salles and Ivan Krishtoforenko.
In this composition, the team lasted until 2015. Then Nikita Goryuk left the group. A little more time passed and the group lost Anton Savlepov.
The soloists of the former Quest Pistols team decided to start living anew. The trio they originally worked with reunited. Actually, this is how the Agony team appeared, which pleases music lovers with high-quality tracks and videos. The new name has no deep philosophy and appeared spontaneously.
Nikita Goryuk - one of the members of the Agon group was born on the territory of Khabarovsk. Since childhood, the young man has been professionally engaged in dancing. However, when it came to choosing a profession, Nikita devoted himself to dancing.
Konstantin Borovsky, like the previous soloist, is a dancer. From childhood, Kostya was engaged in folk dances. Having matured, he preferred modern choreography.
Savlepov Anton did not differ from the previous members of the Agon group - he also did choreography and could not imagine his life without a stage.
In the fall of 2017, Nikita Goryuk left the musical group. In one of his interviews, the young man said that he did not leave of his own free will. Anton and Konstantin put forward demands to "pack your bags" and leave the group.
The reasons for leaving Nikita did not disclose. Rumor has it that the soloists have ceased to understand each other. Goryuk said that he was tired of being part of the Agon group. And it's not about physical, but about moral fatigue.
After leaving the musical group "Agon", a solo project appeared in Goryuk's biography. From now on, Nikita performed solo under the creative pseudonym Zveroboy. After leaving, the young man released 12 tracks and recorded his debut album. Nikita does not communicate with former colleagues.
Music of the band Agon
The musical group "Agon" debuted with the musical composition "Let go". The words and music for the formed group were written by Alexander Chemerov, with whom the guys collaborated before.
Already in the spring, the group presented the track “Every man for himself” to fans. Later, the soloists admitted that they initially wanted to start from this track, but then, due to some circumstances, the guys' plans changed. In the track, the soloists narrate about love and youth. The guys shot a video clip for the musical composition.
In March 2016, the musicians presented their debut album "#I'll Love You". Anton said that they had been working on the record for a long time.
The songs were written long before the presentation of the record. The album was just waiting for its time. The tracks for the debut album were also written by Chemerov.
To "fill" the debut disc, Chemerov needed several tracks. The album included only 10 musical compositions, including the debut "Let go". The tracks "Summer", "Everyone for himself" and "Feelings" caused a special delight among the fans.
After the release of the album, he secured the 3rd position in the overall iTunes chart. In addition to the presentation of the disc, the Agon group, one after another, began to release colorful video clips.
The first video was released in the same 2016. The guys shot a video for the track "Let go". And a few months later, the Agon group posted a video clip for the track “Everyone for Himself” on the YouTube channel.
The musical composition "Opa-opa", which became a hit No. 1, was also recorded by the guys in a productive 2016. For the first time this song was performed by a member of the musical project "X-factor" Ilona Kupko.
Savlepov for that period of time took a place on the jury. The author's song of the girl Ilona impressed Anton so much that he included it in his repertoire. Kupko didn't mind.
The guys created a video clip for the track "Run" in 2017. The main theme of the work was the night car drift. For filming, the soloists of the Agon group chose the metropolitan parking lot of the shopping and entertainment center. The director of the work was Andrey Olenich.
In addition, bright and colorful scenery was involved in the filming of the video clip. Andrey Olenich, who simultaneously worked on the show "Ukrainian Super Model", invited several girls with beautiful forms to appear in the video.
And although Andrey was the director, it was the soloists of the musical group "Agon" who came up with the idea - to create just such a track with a drift theme. Within a few weeks of posting the video, the work gained several million views.
The group delighted fans of their work with their performances and concerts. In particular, the musical group toured the major cities of Ukraine. Tickets for their concerts were sold out almost in the first week.
Such success, of course, can be explained by the great experience of working on stage. But let's not exclude the fact that the guys' tracks are of high quality and delight with the sound.
