Hello out there people! Today was our very first day of shooting and it was so much fun. I was in all the scenes today so it was a long day but what can I say the camera loves me. I can't believe I was out of school for over a month. Nat and I have been traveling and working. It's been really fun. What have you guys been up to?

When my family and I were in Bahamas the funniest thing happened. We were all eating dinner and saw this abandoned shack thing while we were eating so after dinner we just hung out on the beach and went exploring. I walked through the abandoned shack and everything. So no big deal we all decided to head back to our room and when Nat and I get to our room the door is locked! So my parents try their room and it's also locked, then we try our aunt's room. Yup you guessed it was LOCKED. We couldn't find anyone that worked at the hotel. We walked around everywhere. So that night my parents slept on the lounge chairs on the patio, my aunt on the hammock, and Nat and I slept under a tree. It was SO COOL. In the morning a ROOSTER woke us up. Can you believe that?

Well that was a crazy vacation. I've also been out in LA recording songs for our 3rd season. I wrote 3 songs that we recorded and I also recorded the drum sections. Tomorrow is our 2nd day of shooting and I'm really excited to be hanging out with everyone. I'll send you all a video from the set.

Go Polar Bears!

We’re going to the beach! Whoohoooooo! It’s some place I’m very excited about that is outside of the U.S. and rhymes with Ya’mommas. As in “ya momma’s gonna be mad if you don’t quit studying and go have fun at the beach.”

A lot of you guys get to take the whole summer off to do anything you want and have fun, but we really only get one big week of truly not doing any work because we shoot the TV shows in the summer and work on the music and stuff (not that that’s not fun too!). It just makes me want to be sure I have the absolute most fun possible on our one week of real vacation. I’ll let you know after how well I did on the fun scale.

Thanks for doing the live chats with us! I tried to type as fast as I could but there were too many questions to answer all at once! Glad so many of you wanted to talk to us, though. Be sure to check out the videos I made while I was waiting to post my messages. There's one really long video posted Backstage, too, just for registered Backstage Pass holders. I'll warn you: it might take a long time to download!

Polar bears airs tonight and I'm really excited. I have one of my friends' birthday party and I just found out we are all going to watch it and eat pizza. I can't wait—it will be so much fun! I'm really concerned about the environment and I think this episode will show that. I hope you guys like it and will be more aware of the environment and how to help out.

I hope your final days of school aren’t too hard and that you all have an awesome summer!

Maxin’ and Relaxin’,

Hi everybody!

My mother is the most awesome mother ever! I'm sure you probably feel the same way about your mother. We spent all day on Mother's Day with our mom making her feel like the queen she is. Can you tell I'm trying to remain her favorite son?

Our whole family is going to New Orleans this weekend. We have a lot of relatives in the area on my dad's side that we don't get to see very often so I'm stoked to see my cousins.

There is a special 90-minute movie of Naked Brothers Band that will air for the first time on Nickelodeon on Friday night, June 6th. Mark your calendar! It's called 'Polar Bears' and the show takes place in New Orleans. It's all about saving the environment and we're really proud of it, so we hope you'll watch and tell your friends.

So, what do you guys think of Theo and Leo? Even though he's sort of a dork, I think there's something really especially handsome about that Leo, don't you? (ha)

Have you guys been watching the NBA playoffs? Go Lakers!

What's up everybody? I learned a lot of new things last weekend in Kentucky that I'll share with you. First, I learned that Kentucky has a LOT...and I mean a LOT...of horses, bulls and cows. I'm not used to riding down the highway and only seeing farms and animals for mile after mile. It was awesome. I also learned that people in Kentucky call lollipops "suckers". There were a couple bowls of lollipops set out on the table where Nat & I were signing our CDs in Kentucky and kids kept asking me if it was okay if they had a sucker. At first, I didn't know what they meant. Did that mean they were asking for a kiss? Finally, I asked someone and found out that suckers were actually lollipops. Good thing. If it had meant a kiss, my lips SURE would have gotten chapped. (ha)

I also learned that we have the most awesome fans ever! I can't believe "ya'll" stand in line for hours just to see me and my not-quite-as-handsome older brother. I learned that riding a ripstick thru the behind-the-scenes part of a huge Wal-Mart store is a BLAST! Let's see...oh yeah, and I had breakfast with this 8-year-old drummer named Eli Murphy from Nashville who played drums with the University of Kentucky drumline in front of 23,000 people at a big concert by country star Keith Urban the night before. He and his friend Sam Markland were SO nice. We had a waffle eating competition, but I'm honestly not sure who ended up winning but it was still fun.

And all you people who came out to see us in New Jersey and Long Island the weekend before, you guys ROCK too! I will never ever EVER forget seeing all of you at these CD signing events. Thank you for being so nice to us.

Later you "suckers"

Hello party people. I hope you guys got to see us at the Today Show. It was so early I fell asleep about 4 different times. I wouldn't recommend getting up that early if you don't have to.

Well tomorrow I leave for Kentucky and we are going to another 2 Walmarts. It was so cool at the first 2 my dad let my brother and me each pick out a special prize after we finished our signings. I was going to get shoes but then saw a soccer ball and got that. Walmart was so huge I kept getting lost. Anyway I started playing soccer and it's so cool.

Well I have to go pack for Kentucky. I hope you guys can make it out to one of the Walmarts we are going to. Oh and I forgot I still have homework to do...I don't want to go to school. No, really I don't but I will.

Oh also I hope you guys like the message from our newsletter editor that's coming in the next issue!

I'm bringing sexy back,

We had such a great time in L.A. last week! We did a radio show, a news show, hung out with Paul Frank, saw our friends from the show, met tons of celebrities, and had an AWESOME time doing the performance at the KCAs!

At the KCA after party I got to meet tons of our fans, hang out with the whole gang from the Naked Brothers Band, and dance! They played Soulja Boy but I was on Principal Schmoke's shoulders at that point so I couldn't dance. And, Principal Schmoke doesn't quite have my moves--sorry, ladies!

The most fun thing for me about the Kids Choice Awards besides actually playing was probably getting to meet Chris Brown on the Orange Carpet….Chris Brown! He was SO nice, and just that he knew who we were was SO cool. We also got to talk to Cameron Diaz for a while. She is even prettier and funnier in person than in the movies.

Did you see the Burp clips during the Kids Choice Awards? They asked a lot of people to try to burp the song YMCA on the Orange Carpet. I didn’t think I could do it, but I did. And I even ended up being the final “burp” in the clip on the show. Who knew I was full of so much hot air? (ha)

And Ryan Sheckler introduced our band? He and actress Abigail Breslyn. You KNOW how I’m all about the skateboarding scene….and of all people, Ryan Sheckler was introducing the Naked Brothers Band on the Kids Choice Awards. I just couldn’t believe it.

The day after the awards, we had a giant pool party at our house in L.A. and it was SO much fun. We played in the pool for hours with the rest of the Naked Brothers Band (except for David who had to leave early). It was the perfect ending to Spring Break.

Later,

Alex

Two words people: SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our spring break starts in a few more days!!!!!! Hopefully it does for you too. I cannot WAIT!

Our family will be heading west to kick back a little bit. And we’re going to be recording some new songs, and will of course be playing on the Kids Choice Awards which we are SO excited about.

But first, Nat & I will be at the Mall of America in Minneapolis this Saturday, March 15th. There’s a big amusement park inside that mall that is now becoming a Nickelodeon theme park. We’re not playing, but we’ll be there representin’ for the NBB...and will hopefully get to ride a lot of fun rides. If you’re in the area, come on by and check it out and say ‘hi’.

Alex:
Heyyy everyone! It's been a while but we've been really busy. Let's see what have I been doing...

Oh yeah I did this interview thing for Music Choice and they had Nat and me talk about our cell phones. I had my iPhone with me (don't leave home without it!) and played all the songs I have downloaded. That was pretty fun. During the interview I had Nat call me to show my ring and we ended up talking to each other. It was pretty funny.

Oh for Valentine's Day I brought all the girls in my grade chocolates. It's a pretty hard day for handsome guy like me!

So it looks like a lot of you saw The View. That's so cool! We had some looong practices but it was so much fun.

Oh also at school we had this thing called a Lip Sync and everyone sings songs in front of the whole school and parents and friends. I sang Mika Lollipop. My friend and I came up with a whole dance. It was sexy.

Right now at school we have to do this whole project on the Santa Fe Trail. Yeah i know just about everything there is to know about that trail! So yeah school projects are reeeeally fun.

Well I have to run to drum practice now.

January 31, 2008

Guess what? My basketball team is 3-0 so far. While Nat got to sleep in last Saturday and get his "beauty sleep" before our photo shoot (ha), I got up really early for my basketball game and scored 8 points.

I’ve also been working at playing the electric guitar recently, and I’ve just about got the Beatles song “Revolution” down.

I’ve also been listening a lot recently to Led Zeppelin on my ipod. I didn’t know a whole lot about them before about a month ago, but I got their compilation CD called Mothership and now I can’t stop listening to it. Now THAT is rock ’n’ roll!

Maybe you can tell us what you’re listening to these days on the message boards. Give us some ideas of good music to check out.

Peace,
Alex

Yo whatsup people?

How did everyone spend there breaks? My brother and I went to California to visit my grandparents. I got these so awesome glasses for Christmas. They look just like John Lennon’s. So cool.

So after California we went to Hawaii with my whole family. Every year my grandparents take the whole family out there so basically it's just all my family hanging out all night. We stay up late and just chill. It rained a lot of the time we were in Hawaii which wasn't so bad because we all just played games and stuff. We did take a hike one day. We ended up leaving part of the group and my cousin Jesse lead us down the mountain. I noticed something when we kept seeing the same bushes and stuff. So we tried to look for the church and then just followed it. It started to rain and we just kept walking in it.

Then after Hawaii my mom, and me and my dad and brother all went back to LA and hung out for a few days. Then we went back to NY to see little ET.

Well that was my vacation. It's Friday and my brother didn't have school today. But I do. I don't get a day off when he does. I don't think that's very fair. I do have Monday off and I'm having a big sleepover with my friends to watch the Naked Brothers Band show on Nick on Monday which will be really fun. I also have a basketball game on Saturday and my friends and I are really excited.

Cross your fingers that Tuesday is a snow day!

Hi. We had an awesome time on our vacation! We did all kinds of cool stuff and got to hang out with our grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles. I got an iPhone for Christmas and I filled it up with all the Beatles albums. So awesome! We played lots of tennis and basketball in Hawaii and had an art contest. I won "best color" for my painting. It was all art 4 our granddad's birthday and we had a big cake and then jumped into the pool! Hope everyone had a great new year, and see u later!

Hey everybody out there.

So we went down to New Orleans for Thanksgiving. Oh yeah baby! It was awesome to see all of my dad's family and eat lots of food. On Thanksgiving I ate a huge piece of blueberry pie! My dad was also playing down there so we went and watched him and had lots of fun.

This past Sunday it snowed in New York which was so much fun. My grandpa came over to visit and he brought a snowball into the apt and nailed me right in the face!! I couldn't believe it. BUT it was no blizzard so I still had school on Monday. Darnnit.

Yesterday I went to this really cool event in New York for kids. I brought ET and we took pictures with all the kids and she licked them. I didn't lick anyone. It was pretty fun. Well that's all I got.

So I just turned 10 and now I'm in the double digits. My birthday was my first day back at school which was pretty cool because I got to bring Krispy Kreme donuts for the class. After school my parents took me to dinner and I got to have my favorite, shrimp cocktail! It was so awesome. I got tons of Beatles and Bob Marley stuff. And I got this awesome awesome gold Les Paul guitar. It's so cool. I'm taking guitar lessons and play it all the time. I've already learned Don't Let Me Down and Revolution...by the Beatles.

So last week was my first week back at school after filming Season 2 of the Naked Brothers Band, which would have been awful but we went on this field trip for 3 days. We did all this science stuff outside and we spent the night in bunk beds. We had lights out at 10pm but you know that just means we stayed up late and talked. They had this lunch place where we could have PB&J's anytime we wanted. I ate a TON.

That's all for now I actually have a guitar lesson right now that I'm late for. oops!

Nat told you what we did the day before the Naked Brothers Band CD came out. That day was AWESOME!

I'll tell you about something funny that happened to me at rehearsal the day before. I am usually full of energy and it takes a lot to slow me down, but I totally ran out of energy the day before we played 'live' on Good Morning America. You know how sometimes you can be sitting in a boring class and you haven't had enough sleep and then you zone out and don't even know what's going on for a minute? Well I got like that while playing the drums in rehearsal. I mean who falls asleep playing the drums?!!! We're playing and playing and playing and then "NAP ATTACK!!!!" right there in the middle of rehearsal.

Never fear! I woke up, finished rehearsal and we had an awesome performance the next morning on Good Morning America. But not before our family friend Donna got pictures of my "nap attack" as it happened. I think it's pretty funny. I'm playing drums with the whole band in a loud rehearsal studio and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

I'll check back in soon! I hope you like our CD.
Love,
Awake Alex

Hey everybody! As some of you may know, I'm a fan of Drake Bell from Drake & Josh. I just want to tell you that I got to hang out with him backstage at a show in Boston a couple weeks ago and that he is the coolest dude!!! He does a great show, too!

It's been VERY busy with our whole family, but it's all good. Did you see the music video for "If That's Not Love"? Playing drums in a swimming pool was SO fun. Once the pool kept filling up more and more, my drums even started floating away in different directions and I was like "Aaaaghhh!"

Guess what? I will be turning the big 1-0 on November 1. Yep, double digits baby! Here I come!!!

Stay cool everybody. Hope you enjoy our Naked Brothers Band CD and the Battle of the Bands special. I'll check in again soon.
