Edit history

The sea thieves are a collective helmed by Zac Coligan, a South Australian born musician who has never strayed too far from shore. Zac has been involved in Adelaide's rich live music scene for many years, starting his first band "the miltons" in the early 90's. This alt pop outfit gained a strong following, favourable press and played large festivals and many international supports. The Miltons were the very first local act to grace the main stage at the 1994 Big Day Out. After “the miltons” disbanded, Zac saw out the 90's playing atmospheric & experimental rock in the next outfit "Bergerac". Another project warmly received and understood by the good people of SA. In 2002 Zac and his future wife Naomi Thompson saw a problem with the state of the live music scene in Adelaide and decided to start their own venue "The Jade Monkey". Despite the time commitments and pressures of owning and running a live music venue the sea thieves began in the early 00's as a duo. Zac and Naomi

The band first started with me and jez. We met at schoolies and have being good mates ever since. We have being playing for about two years now. We've only played a few gigs around local pubs and things but we have a pretty big crew too come support us.
