Richard Cheese and Lounge against the Machine

[alfie]

Richard Cheese & Lounge Against the Machine est un groupe décalé basé à Los Angeles qui interprète des morceaux célèbres de rap, rock, metal et pop, façon musique de crooner.

Le groupe a entamé leur ultime tournée mondiale qui s'achèvera en 2008. Désormais pour les voire en live, vous devrez vous rendre à Las Vegas... ou bien les engager à votre mariage ou toute autre festivité !

 

The original line-up of the band consists of:

 

* Richard Cheese: vocals

* Gordon Brie: double bass

* Buddy Gouda/Frank Feta: drums

* Bobby Ricotta: Piano and keyboards

 

The names are all pseudonyms, and new band members adopt the pseudonym of the player they replace. The only constant band member is Cheese himself, who is really a Los Angeles-based comedian and entrepreneur named Mark Jonathan Davis. When the drummer Buddy Gouda (Charles Byler) left the band in 2004, he was replaced by Brian Fishler and the stage name was changed to Frank Feta. The role of pianist and musical director Bobby Ricotta is currently played by Noel Melanio, but was previously played by David Adler. The role of bass player Gordon Brie is played by Louis Allen, and was previously portrayed by Christopher Monaco. The band has also hired numerous session musicians, including horn players Eric Jorgensen, Terry Landry, and Lee Thornburg, and theremin player Pamelia Kurstin.

 

Cheese's pseudonym is a slang reference to smegma, as Richard can be shortened to Dick, making his name "dick cheese".
