We called ourselves the Clockwork Orange, after the book, and 3 years BEFORE the film.

Long after we had disbanded, another group took up the name, after the film had made it famous. I was only 15, and had to hide after performances as I was under age. We did get to play with a couple of cool groups, tho!!
