Los padres de los niños viendoNickelodeon-probablemente ya estén familiarizados con los nombres de Nat y AlexWolff - alias de las estrellas (The NakedBrothers Band) de televisión. Take it from me, as aunt to a seven- and aneight-year-old boy, I can verify that to the lunch box set, Nat and Alex arethe kid-friendly equivalent of legendary rock star brother bands like theAllman Brothers or Oasis. Tómalo de mí, como a una tía de siete y ochoaños de edad, puedo comprobar que a la caja del almuerzo, de Nat y Alex son losequivalentes para niños de la legendaria estrella de rock hermano bandas comoAllman Brothers o los oasis.

So you can imagine thereaction when I told my nephews Luca and Michael that we would not only beattending one of the shows during the first ever Naked Brothers Bandcross-country tour, but they would get to interview their idols themselves.Así que usted puede imaginar la reacción cuando le dije a mis sobrinos yMichael Luca que no sólo asistirán a uno de los espectáculos durante la primeraNaked Brothers Band gira entre países, sino que llegar a entrevistar a susídolos propios. When the shock and awe subsided,excitement took over and the brothers became increasingly eager for the day tocome. Cuando la conmoción y pavor amainado, y la emoción se hizo cargode los hermanos se hizo cada vez más ávido de los días venideros.

We met up with Nat andAlex at the New York City stop of their 13-city weekends-only tour, whichstarted in Asbury Park, NJ and ends on December 14th in Los Angeles, CA.Nos reunimos con Nat. y Alex en la ciudad de Nueva York de dejar su ciudad de13 fines de semana-sólo gira, que comenzó en Asbury Park, NJ y termina el 14 dediciembre en Los Ángeles, CA.

No obstante, los hermanos fueron cuidado de no eclipsar a los demás,y hermano de la moda, que se turnaban compartiendo el punto de mira en eltranscurso de la feria.

Después de un gran concierto, Luca, Michael y yoestábamos ansiosos por satisfacer a los hermanos y hablar con ellos.

We metup with Nat and Alex at the New York City stop of their 13-city weekends-onlytour, which started in Asbury Park, NJ and ends on December 14th in LosAngeles, CA.

Onstage, 13-year-old Nat, who writes and performs (sings, plays keyboard, andguitar) all of the band's songs, was a strong and confident force as thegroup's front man, while 11-year-old brother Alex handles his bad boy drummerpart with aplomb--a definite ham, and lover of the crowd's attention. However, the brothers were careful not to outshine one another, and in brotherlyfashion, they took turns sharing the spotlight over the course of the show.

Aftersuch a great gig, Luca, Michael, and I were eager to meet the brothers andspeak with them.  As fans of the show since its first season, Luca andMichael were brimming with questions for their favorite TV stars. Down-to-earthand gracious, Nat and Alex fully engaged in the interview and answered thefollowing questions posed by Luca and Michael:
