Beach Fossils guitarist leaves band, Beach Fossils announces new guitarist: it's you, dude!

Remember the 2001 Mark Wahlberg classic Rock Star? See, Marky Mark played an ordinary schmo working a day job, his only true joy lying in fronting a tribute act to his favorite fictional hair metal band. Then one day the hair metal band’s lead singer quits and Mark Wahlberg becomes the singer and all his dreams come true. It’s a total classic and, no, I haven’t actually seen it. But you can live it now, sort of!

Brooklyn slack-poppers Beach Fossils recently lost guitarist Sennott Burke, who has explained that he has “nothing but love for the band and everyone in it.” As for their new guitarist, it could be YOU. If you’re a Beach Fossils superfan that wants to be the Marky Mark to Burke’s fictional hair metal singer, send an email to beachfossils@gmail.com. Make it quick, though, as you’ve got to be ready to leave by Friday for the band’s show in Toledo, Ohio. While not specified, one would assume that this offer goes out only to those in the Brooklyn area. Maybe you can work something out, though.
