It’s been more than a decade since the end of The Naked Brothers Band, but brothers Nat and Alex Wolff, who filmed a Zoom reunion for the Nickelodeon series in April, look back on the show as if it was just yesterday. “The Naked Brothers Band was one of the most exciting parts of our lives,” Nat told StyleCaster.
The fervor around the series, which was based on the movie of the same, is still alive for fans as well. After the Zoom reunion, Nat and Alex were approached by Netflix for a Naked Brothers Band special, though, at the moment, the project is only a “conversation.” “There’s nothing real going on yet, but we’re always open to that,” Nat says. “It would have to be perfect.”
Earlier this year, Alex revealed that the siblings have talked about a potential reunion's storyline. “We did talk about Alex, who [was] a lemon-lime [soda] addict, is probably a drug addict,” said Alex, before admitting that probably wouldn’t fly with Nickelodeon. Talking about the series, Alex revealed that “I have not outgrown it.”
Whether a Naked Brothers Band reboot becomes real or not, Nat and Alex have their hands full at the moment with their music career. The brothers released their latest single, “Glue,” on Friday, August 7, and have another single, “Winter Baby,” and an EP on the way.
Nat and Alex also talked to StyleCaster about how their fans have grown up with them:
“Our music has evolved in the way we’ve evolved. Luckily, our core fans have stuck with us as we grew and the music grew," said Nat. "as we took different turns left and right, the music went with us and the audience has stayed with us. We’ve been lucky that we’ve never tried to appeal or make any kind of music to appeal to anyone. We just make music that we want to hear, that came out of our hearts.
“Everytime we put out music, we get a group of new fans. But we have the same core fans since we were kids," said Alex. "There’s a community of fans of ours, and they even become friends with each other. It’s a beautiful thing. They come to our show. They’ll fly in from places. It’s amazing to be a part of people’s lives like that.”
It seems like the boys still have a love of lemon-flavored beverages. Talking to Alternative Press, Alex revealed that one of the things that has been holding them together during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has been lemon-flavored White Claw.
The Naked Brothers Band aired for 37 (+5 specials) between February 3, 2007 – June 13, 2009. The series is a spinoff of Draper's film of the same name that was picked up by Nickelodeon, premiering in January 2007. Draper, known for her starring role in Thirtysomething, is the executive producer, and often writer and director. Albie Hecht, Nickelodeon's former president of film and television entertainment and former president of Spike TV, is also the executive producer, under his Worldwide Biggies label. Michael Wolff, who led the band on The Arsenio Hall Show, serves as co-executive producer and music supervisor, with Draper's brother, Tim, as the consulting producer.
The show's theme song is "If That's Not Love" by Nat Wolff.
