Professional Career Of Dan Avidan
Following that, he enrolled at Boston University to pursue a career in advertising. During his senior year of college, he participated in a student exchange program that allowed him to study botany and epidemiology at a Tufts University satellite campus in Talloires, France.
Following graduation, he responded to a Craigslist ad, which led him to join the independent rock band The Northern Hues, located in Philadelphia, launching his career as the group’s lead vocalist and composer. They issued a self-titled EP and a live track, but the band disbanded in the middle of 2005 owing to creative differences and personality difficulties.
Ninja Sex Night
Avidan created the alternative rock duet Skyhill, of which he was the lead singer, in 2006, and they published a whole album called “Run With the Hunted” before splitting up two years later to pursue other projects. He then enrolled in seminars at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, where he studied improvisation and storytelling. During his time there, he had an idea for new musical production and met musical director Brian Wecht. Ninja Sex Party was founded by the couple, with the name based on their three favorite things; he created the character Danny Sexbang, while Wecht invented Ninja Brian.
They rose to prominence after appearing on the comedy show “Stripped Stories,” and were influenced by The Lonely Island and Flight of the Conchords. The band is about a Jewish superhero and his closest friend, a ninja, who attempt and fail to hit on ladies. They have collaborated on multiple songs and studio albums, with several of them reaching the Billboard charts. They also made their live broadcast debut on “Conan,” a late-night talk program, and have performed at several film festivals, including SXSW and Dragon Con.
Video Game Projects
Arin Hanson, the co-creator of “Game Grumps,” invited Dan to replace Jon Jafari as the online series’ co-host in 2013. The two previously collaborated on an animated project, but his first appearance was met with criticism since fans still wanted Jafari to host the show. He eventually achieved acceptance with the team and became the co-host of “Steam Train,” in which he plays PC games rather than console games from “Game Grumps.” He has also presented other shows on their platform and is still a member of the team.
Along with Hanson and Wecht, he founded the side band Starbomb. The band writes video game parody songs, combining Ninja Sex Party’s daring flair with Hanson’s video game humor. They’ve published two successful albums that have climbed the Billboard charts.
In 2015, he dabbled in acting, appearing in the YouTube premium comedic web series “Good Game,” in which he portrays an eSports coach, and his performance was highly welcomed by critics. One of his most recent projects was working on the theme song for the animated television series “Mighty Magiswords.”
