From Scratch were an avant garde performance band. They use home made instruments which are primarily percussion based and here on "Gung Ho 1, 2, 3d" they chose PVC pipes as the prominent instrument - along with drums and chimes. The gung ho in the title was derived from the slogan of the 'Chinese Industrial Cooperative Society' meaning "Work Together".... the triangle in a circle was a gung ho symbol and From Scratch recreated that with their live performances. "Gung Ho 1, 2, 3d" was originally released in 1983 and was performed by Geoff Chapple, Philip Dadson, Wayne Laird and Don McGlashan. It would be great to see a reunion tour at some stage... who knows? maybe Plumbing World would even choose to sponsor it.
