Ruby Falls was a New York City-based math rock band active from 1992 to 2000.
In the same year, Nelson was featured in the film Half-Cocked, and Ruby Falls contributed the song "Dusty" to its soundtrack.
Later in 1994, Nelson took a hiatus from Ruby Falls, which continued playing without her until she rejoined the band in 1996.
Nelson then took another hiatus from Ruby Falls to focus on two other bands of which she was then a member: Retsin and the Naysayer.
In 2000, she rejoined Ruby Falls and they released their second and final album, For the New Crop, on Heartcore Records.
