(Largo) —Timothy J. Lambert, a man claiming to be called Chet Mozart, has won First Place in Animation & Multimedia for The SurEels: The Early Years, at the Spring 2009 Student Art Exhibition in Marlboro Gallery, Prince George’s Community College.
The "mockuspective" follows the early career of 60s-era cartoon-dog rock group The SurEels. The four-minute piece begins with a 1964 appearance on The Margaret Dumont Show, where they performed a spot-on cover of the Kinks’ It’s Alright. We see the famous ‘Dave falls to the tarmac’ incident from the group’s airport arrival that same year. Also covered: the group members’ side projects. The Early Years finishes with The SurEels on the verge of the Psychedelic Era, in groovy colour singing The Move’s The Duke Of Edinburgh’s Lettuce.
The SurEels consist of: DOGUE (vocals, guitar), DAVE (bass, vocal), CLODAGH (guitar, vocal) and MICK (drums, percussion, shouting)
The SurEels: The Early Years is Mozart’s second First Place, following the DOGUE adventure East Of The Sun And West Of Uranus, which won the prize in Spring of 2007.
Chet Mozart currently resides in a state of Prepostrosity.
