Columbus Guardian: Route 66 (1994)
Not much out there on the interwebs about Miss May '66, but I did find this over at Anne Spurgeon's page from the 1994 Columbus Guardian:
A mesmerizing quartet, Miss May 66, is turning brains on the campus circuit. Four women-drummer Tera Stockdale, bassist Kari Murphy, singer Yalan Weasner and Anne Spurgeon (sister of the Greenhorn Spurgeons) have filled their calendars with a pocket of good gigs. Wednesday, June 22 , Miss May opens for the Laughing Hyenas at Stache's. They play Bernie's (with Econothugs and the Lovin' Mouthful) on the 24th and, also that weekend, Comfest. Miss May-an outfit with rhythm, distortion and aggression-has been together only a few months. Stockdale and Murphy just started fooling around on the Econothugs gear. Neither knew what they were doing. 'When we go back and listen to our first tapes,' says Stockdale, 'that's when we realize we actually have come a really long way...We had no idea how to write a song or how to play.' Catch them soon. Murphy leaves for San Francisco later this summer; Stockdale promises the band will forge on after they locate a replacement.

In The Record Store: Watershed Reflections
Hannah Herner at In The Record Store talked with Colin Gawel of Watershed about the band and their busy summer back in 2017, here's an excerpt:
“The first time that we played on the main stage Comfest is a big memory and playing it again this year will be a good memory,” Gawel says.
Watershed was founded in 1987 and has not broken up since then, with varying periods of activity. In its tenure, the band toured with Insane Clown Posse, The Smithereens, and Gawel’s favorite, Cheap Trick.
“It’s rare but if you get to open up for bands that you’re just really a fan of is the best because you get to play and watch one of your favorite bands play every night,” he says. “It’s like a dream.”
Gawel says the band toured consistently for 15 years, only taking the last 10 or so to focus on other projects. He opened Colin’s Coffee and bassist and vocalist Joe Oestreich decided to dedicate time to writing a memoir on the band, which would become the nationally-acclaimed “Hitless Wonder: A Life in Minor League Rock and Roll.”
