The Sea Thieves

The sea thieves are Naomi Thompson and Zac Coligan, an independent band from Adelaide, South Australia. In our music you will hear the pluck of the ukulele, the wheezing of bellows and the singing of a saw. We like to use old sounds to create something new. It all started in 2003 when Zac’s band Bergerac ended, leaving behind three EP’s, two albums and a nine year history of live shows. This included two performances at the Big Day Out and supports with the Breeders, Pavement and Elastica to name a few. We then formed our own band under the moniker “Eiderdown” and in late 2004 released “Summer Of The Red Wolf”. Various tracks from this recording were aired regularly on local radio and nationally on Triple J. This was always seen as a simple introduction to our music, yet the positive and genuine response from our friends and peers gave us the push to continue and improve. Our next step was to record a debut album. So, after a year and a half of tinkering at the Jade Monkey studio and home, we proudly present “hiding in the shade”. This record is a collection of dusty samples and old instruments, imperfect songs with all the mistakes included. “hiding in the shade” is out now on Inertia/Pouring Rain Records. We hope you enjoy it. ..
