25 YEARS OF MUSIC, MOVIES,
AND MADNESS WITH
RICHARD CHEESE
& LOUNGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
a book by
MARK JONATHAN DAVIS
In 2000, comedian Mark Jonathan Davis created the Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine band. As lounge singer Richard Cheese, Davis has released more than 30 albums, sold zillions of albums/CDs/LPs/downloads, appeared on radio, television, and in movies, and played hundreds of sellout concerts around the world.
But Davis was never a professional singer, never performed in a band before, and can't even read music.
How did he do it? Where did this idea come from? What's the secret behind this success?
The new book "GRATEFUL" will reveal the uncensored behind-the-scenes backstory of the Richard Cheese band, and tell how a high school nerd worked his way from the Arizona desert to Hollywood to headlining the Las Vegas Strip.
If you like Richard Cheese, you will LOVE this book!
Davis will share his fun and fascinating rags-to-tuxes story, with a detailed autobiography about his eye-opening experiences in the music business. The book will follow his forty year career in radio, TV, acting, and the recording industry, and will include photographs, documents, behind the scenes anecdotes, celebrity encounters, and a thorough "making of" retrospective about each of his Richard Cheese CDs.
Davis explains the process, shares his secrets, and shows the scars -- and fan tattoos -- from backstage, onstage, in the studio, and on the road with Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine.
"GRATEFUL: 25 YEARS OF MUSIC, MOVIES, AND MADNESS WITH RICHARD CHEESE & LOUNGE AGAINST THE MACHINE" is a must read for fans of the band, and for anyone pursuing a career in show business. For those about to lounge, this book is for you.
The hardcover book is expected in Summer 2025. An eBook version will also be available.

MARK JONATHAN DAVIS
A.K.A. RICHARD CHEESE
Before he created the Richard Cheese band, Mark Jonathan Davis worked as a radio DJ, jingle singer, announcer, traffic reporter, program director, sitcom actor, standup comedian, commercial producer, and copywriter. His resume includes NBC, KROQ, TVLand, Walt Disney Imagineering, SNL, The Dr. Demento Show, MTV, Warner Brothers Animation, The Late Show With David Letterman, and The White House. These varied career roles somehow led to the launch of lounge singer Richard Cheese, in 2000.
After 20+ years of recording and touring with his band, Davis has seen plenty of highs and lows. The highs: performing at private rockstar parties, appearing on TV shows like "Jimmy Kimmel Live," singing in the movies "Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar," "Army Of The Dead," "The Lego Batman Movie," and "Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice," playing for 20,000 people at England's Sonisphere Festival, headlining the Las Vegas strip, and of course, showgirls showgirls showgirls. The lows: record company lawsuits, broken pianos, cancelled gigs, shady promoters, fleabag hotels, music piracy, identity theft, a hernia, neck surgery, a tonsillectomy, two sinus surgeries, two eye operations, the global pandemic, and stalkers stalkers stalkers.
"GRATEFUL" tells a fascinating story of creativity, ambition, tenacity, and did I mention the showgirls?
