The Naked Brothers Band: Battle of the Bands

undefined

Product Description ------------------- Being in a band has it's perks. But the problems are far from few. Facing rival bands, proving you're the real deal, and sometimes even bickering with your own brother... oh, the life of a rock star! Battle of the Bands, Parts 1 & 2 the Naked Brothers Band goes head-to-head with rivals, the L.A. Surfers. Rosalina falls for their lead singer and it's up to Nat to prove the guy's a total phony! The Song Nat and Alex write the exact same song to perform at a benefit concert. Question is, who copied whom? .com ---- In this two-part episode from their first season, 11-year-old singer Nat Wolff and 8-year-old drummer Alex take on messy-haired musician Bobby Love (Keli Price). Band mate Rosalina (Allie DiMeco) has a crush on Bobby, leather-clad singer of the L.A. Surfers, so Nat tries to act like him, but Rosalina thinks he's just pulling a prank. When Nat and his brother find out Bobby is a fake--he isn't British, and he doesn't write his own songs--they attempt to expose him, but that doesn't work either. The only option left is for the New York pop band to beat the California punk-rockers in a charity contest. Nat, Alex, Rosalina, David (David Levi), Thomas (Thomas Batuello), and Qaasim (Qaasim Middleton) start practicing their number, a catchy ditty called "L.A." And with that, the battle begins. Fans of Nickelodeon's fully clothed Naked Brothers Band can guess which group will prevail. Hint: It's the one that doesn't pretend to be something they're not. Battle of the Bands includes "Girl of My Dreams," Nat's tribute to Rosalina. The special is followed by bonus episode "The Song" (also from season 1), in which Nat and Alex cl authorship of the same tune, while reminiscing about their mother. The sentimental story was directed by creator Polly Draper's thirtysomething co-star Melanie Mayron and features the ballad "Nowhere." DVD extras include short interviews and music videos.
