ABOUT THE BOOK

"GRATEFUL: 25 YEARS OF MUSIC, MOVIES, AND MEDICAL EMERGENCIES WITH RICHARD CHEESE ​& LOUNGE AGAINST THE MACHINE"​
a book by
​MARK JONATHAN DAVIS (AKA RICHARD CHEESE)

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 MEDICAL EMERGENCIES WITH RICHARD CHEESE & LOUNGE AGAINST THE MACHINE" is a must read for fans of the band, fans of the music, and for anyone pursuing a career in show business.  For those about to lounge, this book is for you.

The eBook will arrive in summer 2026, and the hardcover book will be published in fall 2026.  An audio book is also planned for 2026 or 2027.
