OTTTO Shares Music Video For ‘Skyscraper’

OTTTO, the three-piece group featuring Tye Trujillo (son of METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo),has released a music video for “Skyscraper” from the Venice Beach, California-based band’s recently released debut album, “Life Is A Game”.

Paul Marchand, who is well known for his music documentaries, including “Jaco” and “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me”, directed the video that, in a nod to the album title, sees the trio playing a board game dubbed “Skyscraper” with each roll of the dice bringing chaos reigning down.

“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.”

OTTTO kicked off a North American tour with BASTARDANE, the band featuring Castor Hetfield, son of METALLICA front-man James Hetfield, this past Saturday, August 5 at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City.

OTTTO have received widespread praise for their recently released debut studio album, “Life Is A Game” with Consequence describing the 10-song album as “fun, unpretentious thrash,” and Revolver dubbing their music “punky thrash.”  The band’s elaborate, carnival-themed video for “Dance of the Dead”, directed by special effects wizard Norman Cabrera (The Walking Dead, Hellboy, The Misfits), finds the young musicians visiting a muerte-infused side show. Professional skateboarders Andy Anderson, Matt Berger and Jake Familton play some of the key characters, with Robert Trujillo making a cameo as “Pa,” and Chloe Trujillo appearing as one of the dancers.
