STUDENT NURSE

About Student Nurse

Social

Formed in 1978 by John & Helena Rogers, the band went through 4 major personnel changes before giving up in 1984. There was a pop side, and an improvisational side, but it was always fiercely original. There were big shows, and shows where nobody came, and shows where they asked us to stop playing so they could play some records and dance. And there were studio recordings, and the beginning of home recording.

The surviving Recordings: a narrative

Every gig we can remember, with posters

Many of the posters were designed & hand silkscreened by Helena Rogers, one of the band's mainstays.

What any of it might have meant
