The collaboration called Nurse Soldier feature Oneida's Bobby Matador and his longtime love, Erica Fletcher (aka Rockie). Before the era of Oneida, the initial noise rock rumblings of Nurse Soldier came together in the late '90s out of the ashes of the couple's previous group, Karaoke Hustler. A six-song EP for Trifectaa Records quickly came and went in spring 1999; two years later, Nurse Soldier issued the 16-song full-length Ancient History before disappearing into indie rock obscurity. During this time, Matador and Fletcher got married and had a family, but Matador continued recording and performing with Oneida while Fletcher finished graduate school. It would be several years (and a move from Brooklyn to Boston in 2004) before Nurse Soldier would resume making their mysterious psych pop. Their long-awaited second album, Marginalia, was issued on Oneida's own Brah Records (via Jagjaguwar) in January 2007. It featured additional contributions from Jake Bailey (guitar/organ/drums) and fellow Oneida drummer Kid Millions. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
