Right Away, Great Captain!

is the side project from Manchester Orchestra’s lead singer, Andy Hull. The Bitter End was released on January 14, 2007 via Favorite Gentlemen Recordings and is available on the bands MySpace. The Eventually Home, the second release from “Right Away, Great Captain!” was released on Tuesday November 11, 2008, also on Hull’s label Favorite Gentlemen Recordings.

Unlike the indie rock of his main band, this band features lo-fi folk sound. Hull has released two parts of a planned trilogy of albums with the story of a 17th century sailor. Hull releases RAGC albums through his Favorite Gentlemen Recordings label.

Right Away, Great Captain! recorded their debut album The Bitter End over a span of 3 days in a 100 year old log cabin near Bastian, VA in August of 2006. It is a concept record concerning a 17th century sailor at sea for 3 years. Each song is a journal entry to either his family at home, or his captain.

Part two of the story The Eventually Home was released in 2008.
