Specializing in humorous songs, both on stage or in their music videos, the duo started by appearing on various film festivals. In 2009, Avidan, who had conceptualized Ninja Sex Party and was in search of a bandmate and/or producer, was introduced to Wecht by Julie Katz, a member of Wecht's comedy troupe (who would later be featured in Ninja Sex Party's music video "The Decision"), to whom Avidan had asked if she knew any musicians. Prior to meeting Dan Avidan, Wecht was the musical director of an improv comedy troupe in New York. He retired in 2015 to join Game Grumps and dedicate himself to his music career. Wecht has an extensive record of highly cited contributions. While there, Wecht worked on string theory, supersymmetry, and quantum field theory. Wecht held research positions at Harvard University, the Center for Theoretical Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the University of Michigan, prior to becoming a faculty member at the Queen Mary University of London. Wecht attended Williams College and the University of California, San Diego where he obtained his PhD in particle physics in 2004. Since May 2018, Wecht also portrays Ninja Brian on his own live comedy show titled Ninja Brian's All-Star Variety Luau Spectacular. He performed all instruments on early Ninja Sex Party albums, until Tupper Ware Remix Party started acting as their backing band in 2015. In Ninja Sex Party, Wecht plays the character of "Ninja Brian", an uncommunicative, homicidal masked ninja, in both live shows and music videos. He is also the co-creator of The Story Collider, a science-based story telling podcast recorded in front of a live audience. He retired in 2015, choosing to join Game Grumps while focusing on his musical career.
