Leigh Daniel "Dan" Avidan (born March 14, 1979), also known by his stage name Danny Sexbang, is an American musician, Internet personality, singer-songwriter, and comedian. He is one half of the musical comedy duo Ninja Sex Party with Brian Wecht, as well as the co-host of the Let's Play webseries Game Grumps with Arin Hanson.[2][3] He is also part of the video game-based comedy music group Starbomb, alongside both Wecht and Hanson.[4]
Early life
Avidan was born and raised in Springfield, New Jersey,[5] the oldest of two children of Debra Schwartz and Avigdor Avidan.[6] His father was born and raised in Israel, and served in the Yom Kippur War before immigrating to America where he met Avidan's mother.[7] His younger sister, Dana Avidan,[8] is a bench jeweler,[9] and the executive style correspondent of InStyle magazine.[10] His grandfather Bernard Schwartz helped invent the body electrode.[11][12]
After graduating from Jonathan Dayton High School in 1997,[13] Avidan pursued advertising at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts.[14] After dropping out due to disinterest in the course, Avidan entered a student exchange program, attending a Tufts University satellite campus in France to study botany in the French Alps.[15]
Career
2003–2008: The Northern Hues and Skyhill
In late 2003, Avidan joined the indie rock band The Northern Hues, a Philadelphia-based group created in early 2002, composed of guitarists Aron Brand and Jeff Rains, Alex Yaker, Justin Earley, and Ian Creech.[16] Avidan acted as the group's lead singer and songwriter, and provided most of the band's lyrics while staying in northern New Jersey.[17] They released one self-titled EP and one live album recorded in early 2005, at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia.[16][18] In mid-2005, the band split up; Avidan attributes the separation to spending "years in [a band] that went nowhere due to lack of planning and focus."[19]
In the winter of 2006, Avidan teamed up with Peter Lennox to form a Brooklyn-based alternative pop duo named Skyhill.[20] Again, Avidan acted as lead singer and songwriter, and the group released one full album, Run With The Hunted, on May 16, 2007.[21] They toured New York in 2008,[22] before eventually separating due to creative differences. On October 7, 2015, Avidan and Lennox returned to release the one-track album Firefly,[23] acclaimed for the band's "maturing in both lyrics and sound" over their previous album.[24]
2009–2012: Ninja Sex Party formation
In 2009, Avidan began studying storytelling at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York, under the guidance of Margot Leitman.[25] After joining the theatre's comedy troupe, Avidan began conceptualizing the possibility of a new musical project.[26] In need of a producer, Avidan was introduced to Brian Wecht, who was the musical director of another troupe,[27] by mutual friends at the theatre.[28] Avidan had already chosen the name "Ninja Sex Party," in addition to designing a costume for himself,[29] and worked together with Wecht to create characters to represent the band.[30] They eventually settled with "Danny Sexbang" as Avidan's character, and "Ninja Brian" as Wecht's. The duo first gained popularity by performing as a musical guest on Leitman's improvisational comedy show Stripped Stories.[25] Inspired by The Lonely Island and Flight of the Conchords, the band is about "a Jewish superhero who wears a unitard, with his best friend who's a ninja, and together they sing songs about dicks, and try to hit [unsuccessfully] on women."[28]
The group has released several studio albums and singles, many of the latter of which have charted on Billboard.[31][32] As of 2016, they have released three studio albums, one cover album, and are producing one untitled album yet to be released, as well as a second cover album.[33][34]
The band has also appeared in various film festivals, including SXSW, Dragon Con, and the LACS.[35][36][37]
2013–present: Game Grumps and Starbomb
In mid-2013, Jon Jafari left his position as co-host of the Let's Play webseries Game Grumps.[38] With Jafari's departure, Arin Hanson, creator of the series, brought Avidan on to replace him as co-host.[39] Avidan would also join Ross O'Donovan as co-host of the Game Grumps spin-off show Steam Train, where both play PC games.[38] Avidan has remained the co-host of the show since. In addition to this, Avidan has acted as a co-host of other shows from the Game Grumps platform, including Grumpcade and Steam Rolled, as well as providing narration for Hunting Monsters.[40]
In late 2013, Avidan, Wecht, and Hanson teamed up to create a side project band named Starbomb, with Avidan as the lead singer-songwriter.[41] The band writes parody songs about video games, bringing together the sexually provocative music stylings of Avidan's Ninja Sex Party and the video game-based humor of Hanson. As of 2016, the group has released two albums, both of which have placed on various Billboard charts.[42][43][44]
Other collaborations
In mid-2012, Avidan briefly partnered with Mondo Media to co-create and host a sketch comedy miniseries written by Lena Dunham called Dirty Shorts, in which Avidan portrayed an exaggerated version of himself, similar to that of Danny Sexbang.[45] The series was not received well, and was dropped after the first 12-episode season. Avidan has commented that the Mondo Media staff experience was welcoming, although he was not confident that the way his character was written would appeal to audiences.[46] Avidan also created, wrote, and provided voice acting for the studio's short-lived animated comedy miniseries DJs in PJs.[47] Avidan returned to Mondo in September 2013 to compose "Dick Figures: The Movie: The Song" for the Dick Figures: The Movie soundtrack with Ninja Sex Party.[48]
Avidan has also appeared on various YouTube webseries as a guest, including Did You Know Gaming?,[49] a webseries dedicated to video game trivia, Good Mythical Morning,[50] a variety show hosted by Rhett and Link, and Nacho Punch,[51] a sketch comedy webseries.
On August 3, 2015, Avidan performed with Steel Panther at their House of Blues venue, singing "Party All Day."[52] The two have collaborated on multiple occasions, with Steel Panther making a cameo in Ninja Sex Party's "Road Trip" music video, and providing vocals for "6969."[53][54]
Avidan is the co-creator and co-host of the football-centric podcast Balls In Your Ear, along with Josh Sprague.[55][56]
Avidan, alongside co-creator Kyle A. Carrozza, performed the theme song for the Cartoon Network series Mighty Magiswords.[57]
