Afterwards, he enrolled at Boston University, intending to pursue an advertising career. During his senior year at the university, he entered a student exchange program which allowed him to attend a Tufts University satellite campus located in Talloires, France, where he studied botany and epidemiology. After graduating, he responded to a Craigslist ad which led him to join the independent rock band called The Northern Hues, based in Philadelphia, beginning his foray into the music industry, becoming the group’s lead singer and lead songwriter as well. They released a self-titled EP and a recorded live track, however, the band split up in the middle of 2005 due to creative differences and personality conflicts.

Ninja Sex Party

In 2006, Avidan formed the alternative rock duo called Skyhill of which he was the lead singer, and they released a full album called “Run With the Hunted”, but separated two years later simply to try new projects. He then took up classes with the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, studying improvisation and storytelling. During his time there, he envisioned a new musical project and later met musical director Brian Wecht. The duo formed Ninja Sex Party, with the name of the band being based on their three favorite things; he created the character Danny Sexbang and Wecht created Ninja Brian.

They initially gained popularity after a performance in the comedy show “Stripped Stories”, and were inspired by works of The Lonely Island as well as Flight of the Conchords. The band is about a Jewish superhero and his ninja best friend, who try unsuccessfully to hit on women. They have released several singles and studio albums together, several reaching the Billboard charts. They also made their live television debut in the late night talk show entitled “Conan”, and have performed in various film festivals, including SXSW and Dragon Con.

Video Game Endeavors

In 2013, “Game Grumps” co-creator Arin Hanson invited Dan to replace Jon Jafari after he left his position as the co-host of the web series. The two previously worked on an animated project together, but his initial appearance met with a negative response as fans still wanted Jafari to host the show. Eventually he gained acceptance with the team, and also became the co-host of “Steam Train” in which he plays PC games, as opposed to console games from “Game Grumps”. He has also hosted other shows on their platform, and remains with the team.

He also formed the side band called Starbomb, alongside Hanson and Wecht. The band writes parody songs about video games, mixing the provocative style of Ninja Sex Party and video game humor written by Hanson. They have released two successful albums, gaining ground on various Billboard charts. In 2015 he tried his hand at acting, working on the YouTube premium comedy web series called “Good Game”, in which he plays an eSports coach, with his performance being well received by critics. One of his recent projects is the animated television series “Mighty Magiswords”, working on the theme song of the show.
