Healing

This past weekend at Young Nak’s Journey retreat, I’ve received healing in my left hand. Right above my risk on the back of my hand, I have some nerve pain that kept bothering me when I lifted things. Thank God it didn’t affect my drumming. The guest speaker, Pastor Joe was talking to Mike, and Mike told me that he was super charismatic (healing, prophesy, yada yada yada). I...

I Fell in Love Lyrics

I Fell in Love Michael Whang (2004) Saw on the movie screen husband and wife Hollywood made it seem it’d be so easy to get it right I never dreamed romantic mysteries for my life I’ve never been one to believe in love at first sight Till I saw Your eyes Ablaze with fire You saw me first with Your heavenly gaze Your voice sweet and thunderous like the ocean’s mighty waves Your...

"I'm excited"

I’m excited for what is going to happen in the next month or two. We’re going to go in for finishing our second record. This time around, I plan on being more detailed with my drumming. Especially on the production side. Usually, I let the producer/mixer/engineer do whatever they want to do. I usually focus on how my drums sound before it hits the boards. This time around, I’m...

Pre production

I love that we have an abundance of songs for our upcoming album. Pick and choose. On Break of Dawn, we put everything we had on it, which forced us to put up songs that we felt weren’t as strong as others. For this upcoming album, we’re going to have to pick the best ones. The ones that fit with eachother. -johnCHONG

Next show at Amplyfi! New songs!

We’re playing a show at a new underground venue in hollywood. The venue is called Amplyfi. So underground, that it has no signs. We’re playing thurs, sept 29th at 9pm. Good news: It’s not a church, but an actual venue. It’s pretty intimate. If you never came to our shows because the venue is a church, now’s your chance to see us! Better news: we’re playing 67% new songs in our set! So if...

Playing with TNB

Performing with TNB is a pleasure and a privilege. There is nothing quite like playing a Dmaj7 chord with Gilbert and Kev while John rocks out on the drums and Descry scratches at the start of Words. Nothing at all. mikewhang

Jesus Is Not in the Grave Anymore

For those that have seen us play Dream Again live, you know it’s different from the recording. We end the song after a loud rock-out session and we yell: “Jesus is not in the grave anymore! He’s coming again, we cannot ignore!” I usually find myself off of my drum throne, jumping and screaming. The reason I get into this position is not cause of the line. Although...

Something you should know about Mike

I love Mike. Mike loves food. When people are gathered around food, it’s a joyous occasion. When people are gathered around GOOD food, it’s a memorable occasion. Mike has low standards for food. Some of you may think it’s a bad thing. I think it’s a GREAT thing. I love how Mike smiles when he eats. He thinks every meal he eats, is the greatest meal ever. When you eat...

Kevin Kim just discovered tumblr

I just discovered tumblr…this is pretty cool. New TNB songs are freaking awesome. I cant wait to get into the studio, but it’s a little daunting staring at that invisible mountain needing to be filled with dollars in order climb over into the studio. God has our back and I’m confident He’ll make it happen. -kevink

Songs for the next record

Hey This song attempts to capture two things: 1) God’s invitation towards freedom 2) The ineffable joy of redemption Shine Jesus, Light of the World, shines, exposing our depth of sin, revealing his depth of glory. Morning He sings over us a...

And good times are coming. We’ve had a lot of opportunities the past several months to expose our music to new friends and fans. We’re extremely humbled and also grateful for all the compliments and support we’ve been getting. So, thank you for those that came out to our shows, bought CDs and shirts, and/or said “Hi” to us. We have another show with our old buddies...

Live vs. Recordings

I love recording music. I love playing live even more. When I record drums, it’s never with a full live band. It’s either done instrument by instrument and layered on top of eachother, or with a core set of instruments tracked live. Never the FULL group and sound. But when I play live, everything is there. Out in the open. All at once. There’s a certain energy that musicians...
