 That said, it is well known that the Sultans preferred a much more stripped-down, raw and direct approach to recording and playing than most of Reis' other projects, opting for a "live" feel to their recordings with minimal effects, studio tweaking or mixing adjustments.In April 2004 the band toured in support of "Shipwrecked" on the Swami Southwest Seance tour of southern California, featuring other acts also signed to the Swami label.Afterwards Reis returned to work with Hot Snakes, one of his other musical projects.
