About Dangerous Cheese
The people, the pace, and the story behind the neon.The Band
Built to Keep the Room Moving
From Prince and Wham! to Bon Jovi and Def Leppard, Dangerous Cheese brings the soundtrack of the 80s back to the stage. Based in Regina, the band combines big hooks, theatrical neon visuals, and a set that keeps moving.
This is a no-mercy dance-floor machine: recognizable songs, bright personality, synchronized visuals, and five-second transitions with no long reset between them. We’ll have you singing along while the next song is already on its way.
No-mercy momentum
Synchronized visuals and five-second transitions keep the dance floor moving from song to song.
Flexible live format
The show can run up to three 50-minute sets, or adapt to two 90-minute sets when the event calls for it.

Dangerous CheeseCurrent
Frontman, DJ, karaoke host, and creative operator behind Dangerous Cheese. Zubazz has been DJing since he was 14 years old and has been an active karaoke host since 2000. That experience is a huge part of how he reads a room, builds momentum, and keeps audiences engaged. He shapes the look, pacing, humor, hooks, and audience connection that define the show. He legally changed his name to Zubazz Awesome Read in 2019, because by then the name had already become his real public identity. He is also the son of Wally Read from Wally Read & The Goldtones, so the instinct to entertain and build a real crowd-facing music identity runs deep. Dangerous Cheese is his first professional band project.

Milestones, Not the Whole Camera Roll
Mosaic Stadium · May 2023
The First Stadium Show
The Saskatchewan Roughriders invited Dangerous Cheese to perform at Family Day. It was the band’s first stadium performance—and seeing the Cheese on the big screen made the milestone feel very real.
Riderville · Grey Cup Weekend 2022
Sean Chose the High Ground
Dangerous Cheese was invited to play Riderville on the same stage headlined by Toque. Sean built the Dangerous Cheese drum rig higher than the headliner’s setup—because apparently even the drums needed the high ground.

The Name Has a Story
The project began with a different concept, crossed several lineup eras, and eventually found the Dangerous Cheese identity audiences know now. The full version—including the original name, the cheese-wheel logo, and the people who shaped it—is preserved in the Origin Story.
