From Scratch: A band talking to today’s nuclear movement

The legendary group, From Scratch, takes you on a magical sonic journey with original DIY instruments, creating rhythms and sounds and an unforgettable Pacifica message for eyes and ears of all ages. Featuring their stunning historic work, Pacific 3, 2, 1, Zero, their sound and songs are a conch call to the fallout of nuclear testing and climate change on low-lying Pacific islands.

From Scratch and Arts on Tour NZ present PAX/PACIFICA,  an upbeat conch-call to the fallout of nuclear testing and climate change in the Pacific

“… among the greatest in any art form to come out of this country” – Wystan Curnow

From Scratch presents an upbeat, home-grown rhythmic music style featuring the iconic PVC pipe percussion and other invented instruments – visually and sonically resonant of Aotearoa ō Te Moana Nui a Kiwa, the islands and shores of the South Pacific.

The From Scratch touring line-up is Adrian Croucher, Shane Currey, Phil Dadson & Darryn Harkness.
