Avidan's first appearances on the show had been originally met with a negative response from fans, with the number of dislikes on each consecutive video increasing. Hanson had previously animated part of the band's music video for "Dinosaur Laser Fight" in 2011. Arin Hanson, co-creator of Game Grumps, brought Avidan on to replace Jafari as co-host, after being introduced to Ninja Sex Party's content by fellow animator Ross O'Donovan. In mid-2013, Jon Jafari left his position as co-host of the Let's Play webseries Game Grumps. 2013–present: Game Grumps, Starbomb, and other projects Īrin Hanson (Egoraptor) and Avidan, hosts of Game Grumps, in 2015 The band has also appeared in various film festivals, including SXSW, Dragon Con, and the now-defunct LACS.

As of 2020, they have released five original albums, and three cover albums. The group has released several studio albums and singles, many of which have charted on Billboard. Inspired by Tenacious D and Flight of the Conchords, the band is about "a Jewish superhero who wears a unitard, with his best friend, a ninja, and together they sing songs about dicks, and try to hit on women, unsuccessfully." They were also inspired by the work of The Lonely Islands to produce music videos and post them to YouTube. The duo first gained popularity by performing as a musical guest on Leitman's improvisational comedy show Stripped Stories. They eventually settled on "Danny Sexbang" as Avidan's character, and "Ninja Brian" as Wecht's.

At the end of 2020, it was announced via the Skyhill website that the band would be working on a new album.
On October 30, 2020, the group released the single "Howling at the Moon" on YouTube, with an eventual release on streaming services in mid-November of the same year. In July 2018, Avidan stated that Skyhill may start new projects in the future, but that nothing was in the works as of then. On October 7, 2015, Avidan and Lennox returned to release the standalone single "Firefly", which was acclaimed for the band's "maturing in both lyrics and sound" over their previous album. They toured New York in early 2008, before eventually separating due to lost passion.
