Bastardane (pictured above) and Ottto have announced The Reconquest Tour, a 24-date trek across North America that sees Bastardane perform songs from their recently released album, Catatonic Symphony, and serves as the debut tour for Ottto’s new singer, Tito Dutta.
Dutta brings a fresh dynamic to the Los Angeles trio Ottto (pictured below), who are working on new music with the Indian-born singer. “It’s an intriguing and a new fundamental milestone in the trajectory of Ottto,” Tye Trujillo says on Dutta’s addition. Ottto’s debut album, Life Is A Game, arrived in the spring of 2023.
Bastardane’s new album, Catatonic Symphony, features 16 tracks spread across 77 minutes, showcasing the Los Angeles-based band’s evolution since their 2022 debut, Is This Rage?
Castor Hetfield shares: “The new songs we’ve got on Catatonic Symphony kick butt. We put a lot of heart into the album and cannot wait to hit the road and play it live.”
Tickets for all shows are on-sale now. Ticket links can be found at Bastardane.com/tour and Otttoband.com/tour.
