Behind The Rolling Stone Cover

“Why do you want to fight me?!” exclaims Rolling Stone AU/NZ Editor-in-Chief Poppy Reid when Tash Sultana suggests they should don the boxing gloves in aid of Sultana’s charity I AM ME. “Corporate fighter. Let’s go," they excitedly propose. In the latest episode of 'Behind The Rolling Stone Cover', brought to you by Shure, Reid sat down with Sultana to discuss their persistence to work through COVID, how their music has evolved from a one-person stage show, and how they became a minor celebrity in a retirement village (with some thanks to Sultana’s cheeky ‘Pa).
