They took their name from a fictitious band mentioned in the book (and also film) A Clockwork Orange.
Heaven 17 are another band whose name originates from A Clockwork Orange.
The quartet came together in Essex, England in late 1999. Signing to London-based 'Infernal Records' in 2000, they released their debut EP Terminal Boredom in the autumn of that year. Their debut album Some Of The People, All Of The Time finally appeared in late 2001.
Johnny Zhivago toured the UK and Europe extensively, supporting acts such as The Wildhearts, 3 Colours Red, The Icarus Line, and Backyard Babies, before going their separate ways in late 2002.
Steve Maloney has since formed 'Vicious Cabaret'. Lee Wray has since formed 'Zen Motel'.
