Dick at Night

Richard Cheese

America's strangest lounge singer Richard Cheese sings swingin' Vegas versions of rock, rap, and Top40 hits, "swankifying" contemporary songs into traditional pop vocal standards. With his swanky Lounge Against The Machine swing band, his tiger-striped tuxedo, and his enormous microphone, Cheese presents the perfect mix of music, martini, and madcap. Just imagine Sinatra singing a Radiohead song, and you've got Dick. He regularly chooses songs which have mature lyrics, outrageous themes and language and turns them into a music sensations, you should hear what he does with I like Big Butts.

Cheese has sold more than 150,000 CDs, and his albums are available in retail stores, on iTunes, and at his official website richardcheese.com. His albums include Lounge Against the Machine, Tuxicity, I’d like a Virgin, Aperitif for Destruction, The Sunny Side of the Moon, Silent Nightclub and Dick at Night.

The finger-snapping, liquor-lapping, night-capping crooner first stepped into the spotlight in 2000 with his Lounge Against the Machine CD. This critically acclaimed album featured "swankified" versions of alternative rock songs, such as Radiohead's CREEP and Limp Bizkit's NOOKIE, arranged for a big band sound. Thanks to radio stations including KROQ/Los Angeles, Z100/New York City, and the nationally-syndicated Dr. Demento Show, Cheese soon found an audience that shared his love of lounge music, including rockstar Brian Setzer, who hired Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine to play at his private Christmas party!

Soon, Dick landed a gig as the co-host and bandleader on MTV's "Say What Karaoke" series. He was also interviewed in 2001 on CNN, profiled in The Los Angeles Times, and featured as a category on VH1's "Rock 'N' Roll Jeopardy." Dick also headlined frequent concerts at The House Of Blues in Los Angeles and Anaheim, The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, and radio station festivals like 91X X-Fest in San Diego, The WHFS HFSmas Nutcracker in Washington DC's Patriot Center, and the Y100 Feztival at Philadelphia's Tweeter Center. Richard Cheese was also hired to entertain at Blink182 drummer Travis Barker's first wedding!

He has released seven CDs thus far and his latest is Dick at Night. This album features lounge-style versions of classic TV theme songs, including The Brady Bunch, Gilligan’s Island and South Park. The album was also released on iTunes with exclusive bonus tracks, and several of Dick's tracks were featured in promotional events for TVLand.
