Brazilian Band Bonde do Rolê Is Looking For A New Singer To Funk Everything Up

If joining a band plagued by scheduling conflicts and in-fighting among its members appeals to you well, asshole, you’re in luck: Brazilian band Bonde do Rolê (Your favorite! We know!) is looking for a new singer:

After undertaking a tour schedule punishing enough to drive any band insane, Bonde do Rolê are currently seeking a new second vocalist; an onstage argument led to the departure of co-vocalist Marina Ribatski and the cancellation of shows in Australia and London. Remaining members Rodrigo Gorky and Pedro D’Eyrot have teamed up with MTV Brazil to stage a reality-TV contest to replace Ribatski.

But there’s a catch! Prospective singers must either be in possession of a vagina, or at least be willing to dress the part:

The first part of the competition is already in motion, with aspiring singers — who must be female or transvestite — sending performance videos to MTV. A jury led by the band will choose five finalists to be put through a series of Survivor-like tasks. After a grand-finale performance, the winner — selected by voters — will make her debut at a live televised concert outside the MTV Brazil building, before going on to perform at the Coachella festival and in Europe.

How forward-thinking these Brazilians are. We’d totally try out, but sometimes we forget our vagina at home. Totes embarrassing, those vag snags. Anyway. Enjoy that video above. We’re dedicating it to our own lil’ Office Boy. And our vagina.
