García (brothers), Alfonso Valdivía and Pablo. You can find reminiscences from bands like Radiohead and Pink Floyd in their songs. 4) Templeton is currently based at the very tip of Africa but enjoys roaming the planet for isnpiration. This solo singer songwriter has been performing/recording since the early 90's and has slowly built up a listener base of like minded people. The best way to describe this artist would be to take the following ingredients: Take the carefully constructed sounds of Zero7 add the intensity of Radiohead, mix this with the mourful twang of Rufus Wainwright and the innocence of Eliott Smith and you have something that sounds like Templeton. 5) The original band called Templeton (and I know that this is not contestable) is from Columbus, Ohio and was formed in 1998 by Christian Hurd who sometimes uses the pseudonym Errant Kohl and is also the frontman for a Portland, Oregon band named Lookbook. www.myspace.com/templetonrocks www.myspace.com/lookbookrocks
