Watershed (South African band)

Watershed is a South African Pop-Rock band, which was founded in Johannesburg in 1998.^[1]

History

Most famous for their signature tune 'Indigo Girl' in 2002, Watershed became a 'natural' success when a German radio DJ heard the single whilst vacationing in South Africa and played it on the air in Germany.^[2] The band toured in June 2010 with MacStanley through Germany as part of the Rock Kick Off tour, which is hosted by German Music Television station Imusic1.^[3]

The band's song "Fine Way" was used in an advert for restaurant chain Wimpy (restaurant) in 2004.^[4]

In 2006 drummer Tulsa Pittaway left the group. He then joined Evolver (later renamed Evolver One) and has also released a solo album.

Hinds released his first solo album, Ordinary Boy in 2013 ^[5]
