Ninja Sex Party
Ninja Sex Party (often abbreviated as NSP) is a musical comedy duo that blends humor, music, and theatrical performance in a way that’s both ridiculous and incredibly entertaining. The group consists of Dan Avidan, who performs under the character Danny Sexbang, and Brian Wecht, who plays the silent yet deadly Ninja Brian. Formed in 2009, the band quickly developed a loyal online following thanks to their wild music videos, catchy synth-pop and rock sounds, and hilariously over-the-top lyrics.
NSP is best known for its mix of absurd comedy and high-energy music, often focusing on exaggerated tales of romance, fantasy, awkward encounters, and epic adventures. Dan’s overconfident yet lovable stage persona, paired with Brian’s straight-faced ninja character, creates a unique comedic dynamic that fans adore. Their songs often include themes like fighting dragons, being the greatest lover in the galaxy, or dealing with rejection in the most dramatic way possible, all delivered with a wink and a smile.
The band’s musical style draws from 1980s synth-pop, glam rock, and power ballads, giving their songs a nostalgic yet fresh feel. Tracks like "Dragon Slayer", "6969", and "Danny Don’t You Know" have become fan favorites, with the latter even receiving widespread praise for its message of self-acceptance and growing into your confidence over time. The music video for "Danny Don’t You Know" features a young version of Dan (played by Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard), making it one of NSP’s most heartfelt and widely shared works.
In addition to their original comedy songs, NSP has also explored more serious musical territory through their "Under the Covers" series. These albums feature the duo’s covers of classic rock and pop songs from bands like Rush, Toto, and Phil Collins. These covers highlight Dan’s vocal range and Brian’s musicianship, proving that beyond the humor, they’re also incredibly talented musicians.
NSP’s live performances are known for being just as entertaining as their videos. Their concerts combine humor, costume changes, choreographed moments, and audience interaction, making them feel more like theatrical experiences than traditional music shows. They have toured across North America and performed at major venues and conventions, attracting fans of all ages.
Beyond the stage and studio, Dan and Brian are highly active online, using platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter to connect with fans and promote their work. They frequently collaborate with other artists and creators, including fellow Game Grumps team members and musicians like TWRP, who often serve as their backing band during live shows and recordings.
Ninja Sex Party has successfully built a niche all their own, where musical skill, bizarre storytelling, and lovable weirdness collide. Through NSP, Dan Avidan has proven that comedy and music don’t have to be separate and that it’s possible to make people laugh, sing, and feel inspired all at the same time. For many fans, NSP represents the joy of embracing who you are, no matter how weird or different, and finding a community that loves and supports you for it.
