Oneida is an American experimental rock band that hails from Brooklyn, New York, known for their improvisational approach, diverse range of influences, and prolific output. The band formed in the late 1990s and quickly became a fixture in the underground music scene with their blend of noise rock, psychedelic, and minimalist music. Comprised of key members Kid Millions (John Colpitts), Bobby Matador (Bobby Matador), and Hanoi Jane (Shahin Motia), Oneida has carved out a unique niche, further solidified by their intense live performances that are characterized by extended jam sessions and a raw, kinetic energy.

Throughout the 2000s and into the later 2010s, Oneida continued to defy genre conventions, offering a discography that is as unpredictable as it is rewarding for listeners who appreciate musical experimentation. Their recent releases, such as the hypnotic and expansive "A List of the Burning Mountains" and the weighty "Absolute II," showcase a band that refuses to settle into a single sonic identity. With albums like "Happy New Year" and "The Wedding," Oneida has demonstrated a penchant for thematic diversity, blending psych-rock with avant-garde influences to create soundscapes that are both challenging and absorbing. Their continual evolution and commitment to exploration have positioned Oneida as enduring figures on the landscape of experimental music.
