Now, sadly, you have opened the literary avenue which is fertile and fascinating ground for me......

The Matching Mole clue was it for me, I knew that Robert Wyatt (a kind of hero of mine, though I am a respecter rather than a fan of his music) was in the highly influential Soft Machine, and I knew the link to the book. And it is an excellent term for the body, from a junkie.

OK ten bands have drawn their name from the novel A Clockwork Orange.

Name 3.

Moloko
Heaven 17

Struggling with a third.....Droogs, Alex, Milk Bar? The Subways?

Droogs wins it for you. There are three bands called essentially Clockwork Orange (one with plural oranges, one with French clockwork). Korova Milk Bar is another one. I only knew the first two you spotted. Heaven 17 are actually named after a fictional band in the book.
