The name Moloko comes from the narcotic -filled milk drink, Moloko Plus, in the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange, [3] based on the Russian for milk, "молоко" ("moloko"). The group signed to Echo Records and released their single "Where Is the What If the What Is in Why?" [1] .
No less than four motives for a story on Moloko: the band formed 30 years ago (1994), disbanded 20 years ago (2004), had their first big hit 25 years ago (1999) and within a few days Róisín Murphy, original Moloko singer, comes to Amsterdam for her 2024 solo tour.
Moloko’s origin story goes back to 1994, when Irish émigré Róisín Murphy – she was born in Arklow, Co. Wicklow and lived there till she was 12 – met electronic producer Mark Brydon at a party in Sheffield.

The band's name is taken from Anthony Burgess' classic novel 'A Clockwork Orange'. In the book Moloko means milk. One thing the band really like about their name is the fact that "people pronounce it differently all the time."
Moloko's own recording studio, a humble but well‑equipped single room in what is termed the Cultural Industries Quarter of Sheffield, takes its name 'BAM' from the band's surnames, Brydon And Murphy: "It's our little musical potting shed," grins Brydon wryly.
