Osaka Sun

About Me

Osaka Sun is the Brainchild of founding members Josh Tingle and Chris Battye, who have been playing together under various pseudonyms for three years. No secret is made of their influences, which include musical greats such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and more recently, The Verve.
