Clock DVA

Country: United Kingdom

Clock DVA is an English group formed in Sheffield in 1978 by Adi Newton and Steven "Judd" Turner. The name comes from the Nadsat slang of A Clockwork Orange, where "dva" means two. Starting in the early industrial and post-punk scene, the group moved over the years toward EBM and electronic music, and Newton has led it through several line-ups and long breaks. Clock DVA released the cassette White Souls in Black Suits on Industrial Records in 1980 and Thirst on Fetish in 1981. That line-up split in 1981, and Turner died the same year.

Virtual Reality Handbook (CD+book)
Habens in 1992 with a text by Clock DVA's Adi Newton and accompanied by a split Clock DVA / It (MH's Ivan Iusco) CD.
Issue 134 (Magazine + 7")
The latest issue of Electronic Sound plunges deep into the dark, uncompromising world of Clock DVA, Sheffield's electro-industrial provocateurs, with an extensive cover feature retracing the group's explosive formative years. What begins with main man Adi Newton rubbing shoulders with future members of The Human League in The Future quickly escalates into a tale of banned venues, constructivist aesthetics, and fearsome live performances that rivalled those of Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltai…
