Richard Cheese
Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine (or simply Richard Cheese) is a cover band and comedy act, performing popular songs in a lounge/swing style. Lounge singer Richard Cheese is a character created and portrayed by Los Angeles–based actor/comedian/singer Mark Jonathan Davis.
Davis had previously worked as Director of Comedy Network Programming for Premiere Networks. He developed the Richard Cheese lounge singer idea in the mid-1990s.[citation needed] The band's work was first broadcast in 2000 by KROQ-FM and the Dr. Demento show.
Since 2000, Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine band has released 28 albums.[citation needed]
The band's debut album Lounge Against the Machine was released in 2000 by Oglio Records. Cheese's second and third albums, Tuxicity and I'd Like a Virgin were independently released in 2002 and 2004 by Cheese's own label, Ideatown Entertainment (later renamed to Coverage Records).[citation needed] From 2005 to 2006, Surfdog Records released three Richard Cheese CDs: Aperitif for Destruction, a studio album, Silent Nightclub, a collection of songs tangentially related to the holiday season, and The Sunny Side of the Moon: The Best of Richard Cheese, which included newly re-recorded versions of six covers from previous albums, plus four new studio recordings. Surfdog also re-released the Richard Cheese albums Tuxicity and I'd Like a Virgin on their label.[citation needed]
Beginning in 2007, the band returned to releasing its own albums, through Davis's independent Coverage Records label.
Richard Cheese's cover of Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" was featured in the 2004 Zack Snyder-directed remake of Dawn of the Dead.
In 2016, the band had two songs in the motion picture Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and released a one-track parody album called Live at Wayne Financial Tower in which the band's performance is cut short by Superman's heat vision. Warner Bros. included the band as animated LEGO mini-figs in the 2017 film The Lego Batman Movie.
The character of Richard Cheese appeared in the Kristen Wiig comedy Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, released in February 2021.
