Naked Brothers Band
When Nat and Alex were very young, they came out of the bathtub shouting, "We're the Naked Brothers Band!"They formed a band in preschool with Nat's best friends.
Ms. Draper said before the film was being produced:
“ Nat kept putting signs on his door: 'I want to be a child actor.' I said, "No, it's too brutal." ”
After a while, Draper decided to make a compromise with Nat; she let him film his own sitcom, 'Don’t Eat Off My Plate,' which was the origin of the Naked Brothers Band movie. Nat Wolff wrote all of the songs performed in the movie except 'That's How It Is,' which was written by Alex Wolff.
The brothers real-life mother Polly Draper (best known for her role as Ellyn Warren on the 1987–91 show thirtysomething) is the director, screenwriter, creator, and executive producer of the film, 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 film.

The executive vice president and general manager of Nickelodeon: “ 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: “ 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. ” Their online videos have been played by fans more than 11 million times in October 2006. Two months later, one of those watchers recognized Nat and Alex in a Florida hotel. She sent them a note, "Are you the Naked Brothers?" They were so excited,
