Printacom has announced a renewal of its sponsorship of top 2009 South African Music Award-nominated band Watershed, for another year
Established in 2000, Watershed has grown to become one of South Africa's top rock bands and continues to receive play on radio and conduct performances at packed-house shows, including concerts with some of the world's leading acts. The band has just released its fourth album and Printacom is proud to announce that it has renewed its sponsorship of Watershed for another year.
“We first sponsored Watershed in October 2007,” says Neil Rom, managing director of Printacom. “Printacom believes that Watershed is one of the most exciting bands on the local scene and we wanted to show our support for local music - as usual, we've put our money where our mouth is.”
“It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be involved with the band and watch it grow from strength to strength. We love the new album, which was recorded overseas, and when our sponsorship contract expired this year it was a no-brainer to renew it,” he adds.
Watershed released its latest studio album: Staring at the Ceiling, at the end of 2008 and has been incessantly touring South Africa ever since.
“It was great that Printacom came on board with Watershed,” says Craig Hinds, the band's lead singer. “We really appreciate the input that we've received and the sponsorship has assisted Watershed with its travels around the country.”
“We're really pleased that Printacom has decided to continue working with us for another year and appreciate their passion for South African music. Lots of companies talk the talk, but Printacom has really come to the party and shown real support for a South African band,” he states.
Printacom wishes Watershed all the best for the year ahead and looks forward to being involved in the continued growth of the band.
