Watershed

Biography

Watershed is a South African pop rock band founded in Johannesburg in 1998.

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. 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.
The band's song "Fine Way" was used in an advert for restaurant chain Wimpy in 2004.
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
