APRIL 2008: Critical Mass is in the Studio recording a new album!
CRITICAL MASS:
The initial focus of the group (featuring the Wangs, the Pawelkos, Tim
Devine and Eric Kubica) was on leading worship at youth events and Masses.
Within a year, Tim's brother Matt joined the band and the group began to
write original music, influenced by their Catholic faith. The first album
was a demo
recording, "Faith Looks Up". Recorded on a shoe-string budget (around
$1200), the band members were shocked to have the recording take off in
sales and in rave reviews.
Their second album "Completely" was produced by Andrew Horrocks and had a
tighter, more aggressive sound than "Faith Looks Up". To the
band members' surprise, the album immediately garnered the Best Album of
the Year at the Canadian Gospel Music Association Awards and the song
"Humility" was finalist for Rock Song of the year.
At World Youth Day 2002, the band was given the honor to perform at both
the Papal Welcoming Ceremony and at the Papal Vigil, the latter which was
seen by the 600,000 in attendance and on international television. With
the exception of David Wang, the remaining members left to pursue other
projects.
Dave Wang continued the mission of Critical Mass with "Grasping for Hope
in the Darkness" which released September 11, 2004. It too won Best Rock
Album honours at the Canadian Gospel Music Association. Their cover of
the Kansas classic, "Carry On Wayward Son" also was nominated for Best
Rock Song. With new band members Scott McKendrick, Luke Kupczyk, Tracey
Doyle, Paul Kieffer, Lawrence Lam, Dave Flitton and assisted by Harvey Armoogan and
Laurel Pentelow, Critical Mass has extended its reach into the US with
touring and retreats. They are looking forward to an opportunity to work
with your youth in drawing them to Christ!
