Overview

  • Chicago police arrested vocalist Jackson Foster on August 2 for criminal trespass after the band performed atop their van at a BP station near Lollapalooza.
  • Foster says they paid the station manager $100 for permission to play, but officers dispersed the crowd with no-loitering warnings and the manager later denied any agreement.
  • He spent a night in custody before being released with a trespass charge and is due to appear in Chicago court next month.
  • The band’s GoFundMe aims to raise $8,000 for Foster’s legal fees and has garnered more than $4,500 in donations as of August 6.
  • Silly Goose continues low-key listening events ahead of their October album Keys To The City and plans to shift future shows into formal venues.
