Go Kart Mozart is a band founded by Lawrence, originally of the bands Felt and Denim. The sound of the band is similar to Denim, although with an emphasis on synthesizers rather than guitars. The songs are short in nature, most never going over three minutes. The lyrics are often funny and satirical. Their name comes from a line in the lyrics of Blinded by the Light, a song written by Bruce Springsteen.
In 1999, Go Kart Mozart released their debut album, Instant Wigwam and Igloo Mixture. It was issued on the Cherry Red subsidiary label West Midlands Records. Tearing Up The Album Charts followed in 2005, and was again released on West Midlands.
Released specially on Record Store Day 2012 (April) New World in the Morning, a cover of the Roger Whittaker song, was a stand alone single and also featured in the film Lawrence of Belgravia.
This was soon followed by the new album On the Hot Dog Streets, which was released on June 2012 through West Midlands. An EP 'Mozart Mini-Mart' was expected to come out, but it's on hold.
On The Hot Dog Streets contains songs from the unreleased CD "Denim Take Over", as well as several new compositions.
Famous quotes containing the word mozart:
“One must not make oneself cheap here—that is a cardinal point—or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.”
—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
