Who is Richard Cheese? A fictional character? A real character? Mass hysteria? Yes and No, he’s a lounge singer from that city of cities, Las Vegas. Self proclaimed hardest working dick in show business, the man has taken a great lounge act and turned into a great lounge act people will listen to outside of a Vegas cocktail bar.

He even hosted a short lived Karaoke themed MTV show. Wait, MTV Karaoke show = Flop, American Idol = Global ratings sensation? If there’s a difference I can’t see it. Mr. Cheese and his band even played at Travis Barker’s (first) wedding.

It seems that he’s also made quite a name for himself pissing people off and has earned the nickname Dick in the minds of some individuals. Like this one, this one and this one. Apparently Richard Cheese has a clause in his contracts which specify absolutely no unauthorized video recordings of his performances and when this isn’t enforced he likes to spit on people and smash their cameras.

These tracks are from the album Lounge Against the Machine, I think there are others…whatever.
