Reporter

Originally referred to as Wet Confetti, Portland, OR’s Reporter feature bassist/vocalist Alberta Poon, drummer Mike McKinnon, and guitarist Dan Grazzini. As Moist Confetti, Grazzini, McKinnon, and Poon performed experimental post-post-punk, but after launching two albums and an EP, their audio moved in a far more liquid direction motivated by their city’s burgeoning digital pop picture, exemplified by works such as Cup Chocolate. In 2007, the trio’s name transformed to Reporter, as well as the music group released its 1st set of tracks under the fresh moniker, Dirt & Celebrities, in 2008. Composing and recording regularly in their house studio, in addition to playing frequent displays in night clubs, basements, and warehouses, produced Reporter’s sound a lot more smooth and distinctive for the group’s 2010 recording, Time Incredible.
