LINEUP The line-up of the band consists of:
As the 'cheese' theme would suggest, these are all humorous Pseudonyms , partly to maintain an air of consistency in a band that is constantly changing personnel. The only constant band member is Cheese himself, who is really a Los Angeles-based comedian and entrepreneur named Mark Jonathan Davis. A new cheese name was adopted when drummer Buddy Gouda (Charles Byler) left the band in 2004. Frank Feta is the stage name of the current drummer, a role now occupied by Brian Fishler. 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. Cheese's pseudonym is a slang reference to Smegma , as Richard can be shortened to Dick, making his name "dick cheese". DISCOGRAPHY
