Foist played at the Fulham prison on the 3rd of March for about an hour, had a break, and had the chance to interact with all the prisoners which was awesome fun. They are going send us some photos they took so they would be put up in here for all of you to see. ALSO a HUGE thanks for all the fans that came down to support Foist at the Push Over 2004, although they were disappointed on not getting a place, they were still in the top 10 in all of Victoria, out of approx. 500 that entered. And No 1 band in Gippsland.
You can see them play at Xscape nightclub on April 16th, with Room For Two, To Get The Girls and Straight 80. The entry would probably be $10, not so sure. More details soon.
Also, they are playing at the Fulham Prison again in May, not sure about the details as yet but its an Open Day for the prisoners family. They received $500 for the Prison gig, and getting paid another $500 for this one as well. T-Shirts are still up for sale, if you want one email us and we'll get back to you... with a T-shirt($30/$25)
