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]
