This is a Dutch rock band and they launch this record in 1999. I have never listen that... I do not know if I want to. =)

Richard Cheese is an American musician and comedian and he loves to make fun of famous albums, bands and so.. for example, his band is called Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine.
