Ahead of the tour, the band have released a brand new visual from their recently launched full length, Life Is A Game. Enlisting director Paul Marchand, who has helmed successful music documentaries including Jaco and Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, the tandem has delivered a fresh new cut for the track, “Skyscraper”.

Sourcing archived skate, surf and pop culture footage, mixed in with raucous performance cuts and a headtrip of a boardgame, the video offers a fitting portrayal of OTTTO’s Venice roots and hard-hitting lineage.

“OTTTO rocks,” says Marchand. “But man, to be honest we all had a lot of milk to drink that day. I just remember the swell was down and the surf zombies came inland. Someone brought a board game? This kinda stuff just happens in Topanga. I think it was a Tuesday.”
