Richard Cheese is the stage name of Mark Jonathan Davis (born November 27, 1965), an American musician and comedian. Cheese (whose name is a pun, given it can be reduced to “Dick”) fronts Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine, a Los Angeles-based group that performs popular songs in a lounge/swing style reminiscent of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Tony Bennett (not to mention many a Las Vegas crooner with a ridiculous suit).
The band also features other dairy-named musicians:
-Bobby Ricotta: piano and keyboards
-Laighton Millea: drums and percussion
-Billy Bleu: bass
-Becky Running Bear: bongos
Plus a rotating roster of other bass players, including Gordon Brie, Skip Neufchatal, Nacho, and Wayne String.
