Coffeeshop Conversations #47: Monica Nelson - A Punk Rock state of mind

November 19, 2015 We are at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation, constantly raining edition. This time we’ve got singer Monica Nelson here. She was in the historic 80’s punk band The Obituaries here in Portland. She left Portland destroyed and in ruins and moved to New York where she lived for twenty years. She returned a few years ago and now leads Monica Nelson and the Highgates. I’m pretty sure we’re going to find out what she means by a “Punk Rock frame of mind.”
