[edit] Several Articles + edits

I believe that 2 articles, movie and TV show, are necessary. As far as I know, they haven't publically released any albums, so they are basically a TV band. As far as edits go, thanks to Captain Infinity for fixing Allie DiMeco's age (22 what?), though her name was still displayed as "DiMico" before my edit. Still, this page needs a lot more fuckin work.

Is there proof that they lip sync and that they are a fake band? 70.170.93.169 01:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Well they all play their instuments and they sing but of course this show is a total fake. 1- Rosalina- is really a stupid whore 2-Nat and Rosalina had sex 3- Jesse is a cousin of Nat and Alex 4-Cooper is not a manager but a fuck'n actor 5-NBB not a real band no concerts no cd`s they are a bunch of teens on a show 6-Nat cant play gutiar... 7-Allei DiMeco`s fsther only remarried twice so I dont understand WHY THE HECK THEY SAID HE GOT MARRIED AGAIN 8-Allie DiMeco didn`t have braces-her sister now does. they also totally suck...andthey dont write theyre own songs.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.228.16 (talk) 20:21, August 29, 2007 (UTC)


This movie is a mock of something real and the tv series is fake but is based on something real.


The Facts:

1- Rosalina- is really Allie DiMeco.

2- Nat and Rosalina dont have a crush on each other. I know this because the origanal name for the song Rosalina is called "Firefighters". Nat went to a firestation where he had his 7th birthday party and said, "I'm going to sing-a-song and raise a benifet for the fire figters and soldiers who fought in 9/11." And the benifet raised $45,000, later re-titled to Rosalina for the movie.

3- Jesse Cook is really actress Jesse Draper and is a cousin of Nat and Alex Wolff.

4- NBB is not a real band no concerts no cd`s they are a bunch of kid's that formed a non famous band and were put on Nickelodeon, because of how good they could play.

5- Nat and Alex's mom is not really deceased. She is really actress Polly Draper and is one of the producers of the show/film.

6- Nat and Alex's dad is not a geeky-accordian playing father he is a jazz pianist.

7- Nat and Alex's dad co-stars in the film and is one of the producers, but his name is Michael Wolff not Sunny Wolff.

8- The movie is like if Nat and Alex Wolff were in a world of "The Beatles", but in a kid version of the Beatles - which Nat is crazy about.

9- One of things that are real is the footage of the band when they were little in the movie, because the piano, drums, and window-cile at the apartment is the same as the picture in the newsday artical explaining about the movie and the real-life story and the mockumentary that is on the show and film.

10- Nat and Alex Wolff don't go to a private school called "Amigos Elematary", but does go to a private school in Manhattan.

11- Princaple (Joe) Schmoke is really venture capitalist Tim Draper Nat and Alex's Uncle, their mom's brother, Jesse Cook's father, and two of "The Timmerman Brothers" - William T. Draper (Billy Draper) and Adam Draper father.

12- Jesse Draper is a sister of two of "The Timmerman Brothers" - Billy and Adam Draper.

13- Nat Wolff play's the keyboards and is a singer-songwriter, he wrote and composed music since he was 4 years old and has written over 150 songs, and he recently also learned how to play the guitar. He is a member of "The Naked Brothers Band" created by him and his little brother Alex.

14- Alex Wolff play's the drums and is a member of "The Naked Brothers Band."

15- All the other actor's of the band I havn't all mentioned play the part as them self, except Rosalina.


Just an update, as of October 9, 2007 a record has been released by Nick/Columbia. You can see it on the List of The Naked Brothers Band songs‎ article. I am wondering if that changes anything as to if they are an actual band now or what? Josborne2382 07:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Of course their not a real band, just because they have a album does not mean anything, Spongebob has had more albums then them and he's not a real band of course.

[edit] Permission to unprotect

This artice needs some serious work, it also needs expanding. If someone can ask for permission to unprotect this, that would be great. I am not a user, just a frequent visitor. Since the movie had its advance screening already, there could also be a summary about the movie. Also, if there are going to be sections for the movie and tv series, they should be seperate artices merged together. Not meaning to do this now, since we will probably have to wait until some episodes come out. And as a user said earlier, we can't really call them a band since they have no CD's out now. Please do this so we can fix it in whatever ways possible. 70.170.93.169 06:53, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

LOOK buddy we know you have.... problems.. but their is no need to feel sorry for a band who weres head bands and dateing at an early age if you dont see whats so wrong about


The reason the ages are wrong is because they are taken from the movie which was created 2 years ago, but is premiering right now in 2007.

[edit] Kind of Movie

In my opinion, this is more of a fictional autobiography. Mainly because Rosalina isn't an actual person, its played by another girl. and because the dad isn't really a failed acrodion musician, he has a band (look him up). i don't really see why this is a drama, i don't see the drama in it. 70.170.93.169 01:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Stuped fake drama. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.163.32.133 (talk) 22:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TV Series? Movie? Taken Care Of

Okay. The movie is obviously an article on its own. However, recent popularity from the announcement of the TV series has led to a huge mess with whether or not this is a "Film" article or a "TV Series" article.

I've just added "(TV Series)" to the title of this article and created another article that says "(Film)" instead.

These articles are currently very similar, so please help towards adding to each of these articles.

Thanks.FIRST801 00:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rosalina

So, Rosalina is not really the actress that plays Rosalina's real name, so, Should we put the actresses real name on? 130.13.102.173 00:02, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Allie's full name is Alyson Rosalina DiMeco. So technically they are using her real name. Robert25 05:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Her real name is Alexandra Jean DiMeco. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.172.232.71 (talk) 04:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More info!

We need to put more stuff in here! It's just wrong!- 71.144.71.158 03:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I added a story line and episodes From Zach111493 my talkmy contributions 20:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I added characters... Chick No.16 20:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where's the Edit button?

I don't mean to be a grammar freak, but the TV Series page is really poorly done. There also is a lot of important stuff left out of each episode summary. 70.252.99.198 23:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

The reason the edit button is missing and a view source button is there instead is that the page is protected. From Zach111493 my talkmy contributions 01:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] characters

Although Nat and Alex already link to something, i think that special pages should be made for each character and that the pages about Nat and Alex should not link to the real them but should explain them on the actual show. And anyways, were is the part of them being the worst band in history? From Zach111493 my talkmy contributions 01:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


The Page

We need to add more stuff it is empty and all the important stuff about the characters are missing the page should say when each show was first shown in the uk


Everyone in the band is an actual musician. The sound recordings are done in a recording studio. They pretend to play the instruments for the music videos (like most bands). The LuckyRed 19:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)The_LuckyRed 06.06.07

...Where, good sir, did you get this information? Centurion Ry 20:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] show dates

it needs to say when each show aired for the first time in the uk

[edit] 'sonny' wolff

On episode 1-08 "A Man needs a Maid" it is revealed that Michael Wolff's character on the show is named Sonny. Should this be added to the article?

I thought that was just a nickname....but I could be wrong. Not sure... Chick No.16 20:56, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episode list

Information does not need to be duplicated on multiple articles on Wikipedia. If somone wants to print it out, they can do so seperatly. Wikipedia is not designed for just that purpose. One of the main pluses of having an digital encyclopedia is so that we make it much cleaner then a typical encyclopedia, with the use of redirects, and other related things. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 17:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I put a note in at WP:AN/I asking for help with how to communicate with AnnieTigerChucky (talk · contribs). In the meantime, take care not to violate WP:3RR, or you can be blocked. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, thanks. That's why I finally started a discussion about it here. And thank you for reporting it. I won't revert it anymore, and let someone else handle the situation. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 17:37, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of episodes

82.30.91.179 17:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Just to say, for the list of episodes it needs a resort, the "Alien Clones" episode has aired and is not one of the last it is one of the first.

[edit] Reception?

Should we add a reception article to this page?It seems that would fit since it has gotten plenty of reviews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.103.108.250 (talk) 01:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Walk Out

Will the screen writers guild strike affect the naked brothers band? RC-0722 19:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Considering that at least the majority of the show is scripted (it is a mockumentary after all) I would say yes. But most shows have taped most of their shows ahead of time and most shows have also stockpiled scripts, it would probably be into the new year before we notice anything. Thanks! Josborne2382 19:40, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
NNO.My uncle works on sets and they shot everything insanely early to make sure that didn't interfere. 72.67.191.254 (talk) 02:48, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of The Naked Brothers Band episodes

This article was up for deletion a while ago the talk page was withdrawn. I think we should use the info from that article and put it on this article underneath Episodes and then delete List of The Naked Brothers Band episodes. --AnnieTigerChucky (talk) 03:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

On most articles I've seen, it's usually better to keep that level of detail separate; the actual article about the series should discuss more important matters than a list of episodes. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:01, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree it should have more info on the show but an episode list should be good as well to expand this article. Most of the approved Wikipedia articles has a lot of information. --AnnieTigerChucky (talk) 04:09, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Did you find an example of a featured article (at WP:FA#Media) that has a long episode list in the body of the article? I'm pretty sure they all fork to a separate article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:14, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

You are right a saw an article that had a separate article for the list of episodes for a series. --AnnieTigerChucky (talk) 04:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

That's the norm because lists are discouraged in articles, since they are sometimes unencyclopedic collections of WP:TRIVIA or raise issues of WP:NOT. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:32, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

ATC, The Office (US TV series) might be a good sample for you; it doesn't just list episodes, it summarizes each season. (I just cleaned it up, and left a list of work needed on the talk page.) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

Why is the season 2 plot an exact duplicate of season 1. This should be fixed. Itsmeiam (talk) 10:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
