Prior to becoming an indie folk heartthrob with The Dutchess and The Duke and Case Studies, Jesse Lortz had a brief run as a Phil Spector, Kim Fowley, Billy Childish, Darin Raffaelli-esque impresario and manufactured his own "girl group" to be the face for a few of his songs. The Sultanas featured Jesse on guitar, Donnie from Nice Smile/The Dutchess and The Duke on drums, Ian from Coconut Coolouts on bass, and three female singers, one of which was Kimberly Morrison from The Fall-Outs, Thee Flying Dutchmen, The Intelligence, The Dutchess and The Duke, and others.
Like his then prior output with Thee Flying Dutchmen and Fe Fi Fo Fums, Jesse squeezes the Sultanas' songs pretty tightly into an established genre, this time being the anonymous 60s girl groups, as documented by the Girls In The Garage series. I have no idea if the band ever played any live concerts, but would lean toward saying they did not. This is a fun document to the days when Jesse ran the Boom Boom empire as if it was all one big inside joke and he was the smartest guy in the scene.
