Drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth lost the title of “Strangest Combination” when Columbus rock trio Watershed hit the road with the shock-rap act, Insane Clown Posse, (I.C.P.). Watershed and I.C.P. are at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of style and the followings they attract. Nonetheless, Watershed fits the bill because I.C.P. wants every act to be different and distinct, said Watershed singer/guitarist Colin Gawel.”They wanted to make it kind of like a three-ring circus,” Gawel said.Like Ozzy Osborne, Alice Cooper, and Marilyn Manson, Detroit’s I.C.P. is cashing in on controversy. Their new album, “The Great Milenko,” was pulled by their Disney-affiliated record label two days after its release because of explicit lyrics and messages. A typical I.C.P. show features the duo of Violent Jay and 2 Dope, clad with clown paint, costumes, and impressive stage props, rapping obscenities over heavy bass beats. Their circus continues as they spray close to 100 two-liter bottles of Faygo into the crowd composed mostly of teenagers. “They were having trouble finding bands that were tough enough for the gig,” Gawel said. “It’s a really harsh crowd, but they like us because we’re rock and roll survivors.”On the first night of their string of fifteen dates opening for I.C.P., the entire crowd in Scranton, PA welcomed our Columbus boys by chanting, “Watershed Sucks,” Gawel said. Swallowing their pride, Watershed performed a thirty minute set of their heavy material and avoided their slower heartfelt songs. “You have to understand that they’re just kids,” he said. “Half of them are gonna come up to you after the show and say- ‘F ‹ off,’ but the other half will say- ‘Hey, that was great.'”Accustomed to playing the bar scene, Watershed’s jaunt with I.C.P. was a nice break from the norm that didn’t leave a bad taste in their mouths. “It was great to get back to what concerts are supposed to be- kids blowing their dough on concert T-shirts and trying to sober up before Mom comes to pick ’em up in the family truckster,” said bassist Joe O.Gawel, O., and drummer Herb Schupp have been playing together for about 12 years, Gawel said. After releasing a couple of ‘indie’ albums, Watershed signed with Epic Records in 1992 and put out two albums, “Three Chords and a Cloud of Dust” and “Twister.” In late 1995, they were dropped by Epic, but came back last spring with a new record called “Star Vehicle.”Before they head back out for another 50 shows on I.C.P’s “Prom Night Massacre” tour in January and February, Watershed will play their fourth annual “Pet Therapy Benefit” at Little Brothers with Hoarse and Scrawl on Dec. 12. The money raised from the show will allow members of the Humane Society to bring pets to visit with seriously ill people in the Columbus community, Gawel said.
