![]() ![]() One of NSP‘s earliest and simplest songs, and that is what makes it work so well. It’s an uplifting buddy song about two horrible people, which is part of the song’s overall charm. I also like how Danny isn’t really upset that Brian is a murderer, only that he thinks that Brian is killing too much and might kill him. Once the duo is seen as Ash and Pikachu, a relationship where Ash (Danny) is clearly in charge, does Brian really begin to seethe. it is interesting to note that Ninja Brian seems happy with the Mario and Luigi comparison in the video seeing as he is Mario and Mario is looked upon as the dominant character. Well, that does pretty much sum them up, on to the countdown!īrian just can’t stop a’murderin’. Instead of trying to explain NSP, I think I’ll let Danny and Brian explain it themselves: ![]() Screw all that other jazz though, we’re here for Ninja Sex Party proper and what they do best, rock. NSP has even teamed up with Egoraptor to form the side group Starbomb, which makes funny songs about video games. Aside from NSP, Wecht is a physics professor and many people may recognize Dan from his work on the “let’s play” YouTube channel Game Grumps with Egoraptor (Arin Hanson). Enter Ninja Sex Party ( NSP for short), the duo of Danny Sexbang (Dan Avidan) and Ninja Brian (Brian Wecht). “Under the Covers” proves that while Ninja Sex Party can split the sides, the duo’s skills are nothing to laugh at.I’m a sucker for musical comedy, especially short, goofy, gag songs. Due to the high number of pre-orders in need of Avidan’s and Wecht’s autographs, the CD’s delivery has been taking longer than expected.Īltogether, the album is a great look at the musical element of musical comedy. Released earlier this month, “Under the Covers” has been met with great fan reception, with pre-orders of the physical copy coming autographed. Throughout the album, Avidan’s vocals take center stage, delivering fantastic performances on most of the tracks, especially on “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Subdivisions,” Van Halen’s “Jump” and “The Last Unicorn.” The instrumental work is most always true to the originals, with some occasional alterations here and there. Other, more obscure, artists are covered as well, such as Oingo Boingo with “We Close Our Eyes” and King’s X’s “The Burning Down.” Possibly the most unusual is a previously released cover of the theme from the 1982 animated film, “The Last Unicorn.” NSP tackle some big names on “Under the Covers,” including Michael Jackson (“Rock With You”), Pink Floyd (“Wish You Were Here”) and Avidan’s favorite band, Rush (an excellent cover of “Subdivisions”). The song is a natural fit for Avidan’s vocals and is aided by some tasteful lead guitar and a music video that makes one want to get together with some good friends and go on a cross-country road trip. The second single is “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” originally by Tears for Fears. ![]() This version sounds quite similar to the original, except for Avidan’s alteration of the song’s signature falsetto chorus, instead hitting the note at a much more natural pitch. The album’s opening track, as well as its lead single, is a rendition of a-Ha’s hit, “Take On Me.” The album contains covers of classic tracks from the ‘70s and ‘80s from various rock, R&B and pop artists of the era.īacking the duo is the group Tupperware Remix Party (TWRP), who add a whole new level to the group’s sound and make the production feel fuller and more professional. With their fourth release, “Under the Covers,” NSP are attempting to demonstrate a more serious side of themselves, as well as pay tribute to their musical heroes. Wecht has a PhD in theoretical physics and left a professorship at Queen Mary University in London to pursue a career as the keyboard-playing masked assassin Ninja Brian. Avidan fronted pop group the Northern Hues and later was half of a much more serious electronic duo called Skyhill. While on the surface Ninja Sex Party may seem like simply the work of a couple of goofball YouTubers, the fact is that both the members have impressive backgrounds, musical and otherwise. Ninja Brian) handles the production, mainly a bare-bones ‘80s synthesizer. ![]() Danny Sexbang) creating memorable pop-rock melodies and strong harmonized vocals to deliver the often hilarious and clever lyrics. Their first three albums, “NSFW,” “Strawberries and Cream,” and “Attitude City,” have exemplified this style, with vocalist Dan Avidan (a.k.a. Musical comedy duo Ninja Sex Party have racked up millions of YouTube views with their raunchy, yet tongue-in-cheek, brand of humor. ![]()
