Previously he had been a member of [[The Television Personalities]], [[Biff Bang Pow]] and several other bands. His music was [[noise pop]], much like the early work of [[The Jesus and Mary Chain]], for whom, in [[1984 in music|1984]], he produced the debut single, 'Upside Down'. He was also responsible for producing Felt's 'The Pictorial Jackson Review' album for Creation in in 1988. In 1986 he released the album 'All Around My Hobbyhorse's Head', and in 1991 a second album, ''Pied Piper of Feedback''. His complete sessions, with material worked on by his band, which featured Dave Musker (ex-[[Television Personalities]]), Tony Barber (ex-[[Buzzcocks]]) and Francis Sweeney (from [[The June Brides]]), were released as the [[Compact disc|CD]] ''Zé Do Caixão'' in [[2003]]. Joe Foster continues to run the critically acclaimed [[Rev-Ola]] record label (originally a Creation subsidiary). He is currently working with a number of artists including [[Eugene Kelly]], [[ BMX Bandits]], [[Norman Blake]], [[The Fine Arts Showcase]],[[ Zoe]], [[Control Freak]], [[The Cake]], [[Roger Nicholls and A Small Circle Of Friends]], [[Evie Sands]], [[The Wondermints]], [[The Ecstasy Of St. Theresa]], [[The Telescopes]], [[Brian Jonestown Massacre]], and [[Richard Olsen]]. He was apparently recently working on vocal arrangements and production for artists in Mexico City and doing work for the [[British Council]], as well as working on projects with [[Alan McGee]] and [[Andrew Loog Oldham]] in various Latin American countries; whilst there he introduced a series of shows on Mexican national radio, narrated some 'talking books' for an Argentinian label, and appeared in a number of [[Telenovelas]] in Colombia. In the early 1990s, he appeared in some episodes of [[The X-Files]] along with former [[Television Personalities]] drummer and actor [[Mark Sheppard]]. {{UK-musician-stub}}
