Watershed were a band with almost as many line-up changes as the Chills, which involved lots of incestuous behaviour with other Hamilton bands. They formed in 1987 as a six piece, featuring Richard Lennox (vocals), Sarah Oliver (keyboards), Rob Hamlin (drums), John Paul Oliver (guitar), Chris Barnett (bass) and Marcus MacRurry (guitar).

Marcus, Kent, Chris and Jonathon

By 1990 Watershed had become a four piece, featuring Marcus, Chris, Kent Ericksen (guitar) and Jonathon Armstrong (drums). Watershed had one song included on the 1991 Flying Nun Freak the Sheep compilation, and later released an album Jeanna - an Aeroplane. They also had a song "Take This That Way" included on Discordia Concors, and another on Surf Music.
Most of the members went on to Anaganasnagamal. Watershed supported the Chills on their triumphant Submarine Bells tour in 1990 in Hamilton and Auckland (at the Town Hall), and also played support for Straitjacket Fits, the Clean and UK band Pop Will Eat Itself.
