Plot
The plot is based around
Nat and Alex Wolff, who are members of a seven-member band called The Naked Brothers Band. The band features lead singer-songwriter/keyboardist Nat Wolff, drummer Alex Wolff, guitarist Qaasim Middleton, keyboardist David Levi, cellist Thomas Batuello, bassist; and Nat's crush Rosalina (Allie DiMeco), and the band's manager Cooper Pillot.[1]
They deal with issues like sibling rivalry, girls, music, and peer relationship through out the series. The show is shot in reality style, with the characters aware that the cameras are following them.
Throughout the series Nat and Rosalina have a flirty relationship, but they both can't admit it and Nat's friends Thomas and David make fun of this sometimes.

[edit] Character description
Nat Wolff – lead vocals, keyboardist, songwriter. He is known as "The Girl Magnet" and is known for being very mature.
Alex Wolff – drummer. He is the hyperactive one in the band and girls go crazy for his curly hair. He loves skateboarding and wants to become a professional one day. He even has his own clothing line!, socks tied around his ankles; red, white, and blue do-rag. He's "milkaholic" and wears different kinds of fake tattoos.
David Levi – keyboardist. He is the politest member of the band, but always joins in one of Thomas' pranks.
Thomas Batuello – cellist. He is the one coming up with all of the biggest pranks and likes tie-dying his tongue with different-flavored popsicles.
Qaasim Middleton – guitarist. He is known as the smartest band member of the group and is good with the ladies.
Cooper Pillot – band manager. He tries to behave as much as an adult as possible and is overwhelmed by all of the commands of his job.
Rosalina – bassist. She always denies the fact that she and Nat are boyfriend and girlfriend. She thinks that some of the boys' pranks are immature.
Mr. Wolff (Dad) – geeky accordion player. He acts like a kid and has performed at the Hoboken Rathskeller restaurant. He would do anything to be in his sons band.
Jesse Cook – babysitter/tutor. Unfortunately, she is not smart enough for the job, but luckily Rosalina and Qaasim are there to help her grade papers. She calls Alex her "little boy friend" and wears seven different kinds of tattoos.

[edit] Background/Production

The cast of The Naked Brothers Band (from the top left to right), Rosalina (Allie Dimeco), David Levi, Thomas Batuello, and Qaasim Middleton (from the bottom left to right), Alex Wolff, Nat Wolff, and Cooper Pillot
When Nat and Alex were young, one day they announced, "We’re the Naked Brothers Band!" while dancing naked around their apartment after a bath. They formed a band in preschool with Nat's best friends.
[1]
The brothers real-life mother Polly Draper (best known for her role as Ellyn Warren on the 1987–91 show thirtysomething) created and produced the TV series and their father Michael Wolff (who was the band-leader for The Arsenio Hall Show, from 1989–94) is the co-executive producer and music supervisor of the TV series. Wolff stars as the brothers' geeky father, who plays the accordion and would do anything to be in the band.[1]
All of the songs in the TV series are written and performed by Nat Wolff except for I Could Be which was written and performed by Alex Wolff for the episode "A Rebel and a Skateboarder." The last episode of season 1, Alien Clones, had both Nat and Alex's songs, Run written by Nat, and Alien Clones, written by Alex.
Polly Draper's screenwriting debut was in 1999 with
The Tic Code.[1]
The executive vice president and general manager of Nickelodeon said:[1]

At first we were intrigued by the idea, but we weren't sure that kids would understand the vague tongue-and-cheek of it. Then a bunch of us took it home to our own children, and they loved it.

An executive producer of the series said he thought the brothers would be big when he watched the film at the
Hamptons International Film Festival:[1]

They're just real: real brothers, real friends; it's all the stuff kids do when they're hanging out on the playground. The idea that you're watching a documentary is so much fun. Then you put them into that fantasy of being a world-famous rock band, and that's the sauce that makes it work.

Nat Wolff


Nat is the lead singer/songwriter and keyboardist, and his brother Alex is the drummer, co-founder of the Naked Brothers Band.
Nat stars in the
Nickelodeon television series The Naked Brothers Band. Based on a comedic interpretation of the brothers' lives, the TV series began as The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, an independent mockumentary film directed by Draper.
Nat kept putting signs on his door "I want to be a child actor!," but Draper refused to at first because she wanted her kids to have a normal life, so to please him she let him film his own sitcom, called "Don't Eat Of My Plate," then Draper changed her mind and let him be a child actor, and decided to make a movie about her kids band, they formed in pre-school with there best friends, since they were so talented.
[2]
He gained notice in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks when he held his birthday party at a fire station and performed a self-written song "Firefighters" (later retitled "Rosalina" for The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie).
Nat says:
[3]

I always loved it. I love the Beatles. I know every Beatles song. I wanted to be like them. It's all based on reality. It's not like work. It's things we might say or do or want to say or do. I like the feeling of creating something that wasn't there. If we have another season, I'm totally getting ideas.


Alex Wolff (born November 1, 1997[1] in Los Angeles, California) is an actor and drummer. He is the son of actress and writer Polly Draper and jazz pianist Michael Wolff.

[edit] Career
Alex Wolff is best known for his starring role as himself in
The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie and the TV series on Nickelodeon. The film and television show are comedically based on his and his older brother Nat Wolff's life and in the band of the same name, which they co-founded.
He is the band's drummer, but he also writes and sings songs such as "That's How It Is," "I Could Be," and "Alien Clones." He also had a short role in Fall Out Boy's video "The Take Over, The Breaks Over," playing a young Pete Wentz. Alex is known for his milk ads on the show; in the Naked Brothers Band Movie, his character passed out from drinking lemon-lime soda and took up milk instead.
Alex says, when asked how it was to work with his mother:
[2]

It's good. It's better than working with anyone else. She's your mom; she's not an authority. You don't have to behave.
