The Naked Brothers Band

The Naked Brothers Band, which started out as an independent film, is a show about two boys, Nat and Alex Wolff, who have a successful band. Most of the episodes feature the boys' music.

As a side note, series producer/head writer/stars' mom Polly Draper wrote herself out of an on-camera role by making the boys' "mother" "dead", despite her husband and sons using their real names. Thus possibly becoming the first person in the history of the entertainment industry to literally commit career suicide.

And no, none of the characters are naked.

Part of the Nick Verse due to Miranda Cosgrove showing up As Herself. Which means Polly Draper has written her death into 5 other series.
