About the Blue Indian

The Blue Indian is a group of collected writers who have gotten together to comment on art.

With perhaps The Blue Indian's most unique and exclusive interview to date, Luke Goddard gives you "10 Questions with Andy Hull, front-man of Manchester Orchestra." Andy and his band, Manchester Orchestra, are a couple of shows away from touring for 13 months straight. And over the course of the past 2 years, he and the rest of the band could probably count on their one hand the amount of weeks they've had at home with their families. Well folks, it's true. Hard work does pay off. Considering the fact that they're approaching 12 million plays on their MySpace along with the ridiculous amount of fuss they've stirred on nearly every music website under God's creation, it's safe to say that this man and his band have reached a certain measure of success that I'm not sure they envisioned when they were playing shows in backyards of homes in the Atlanta suburbs. Folks, this band gets hundreds of requests a week for interviews. And not only did Andy respond to my request for an interview, he wrote back hand-written responses and even took time to draw that lovely header image above. I'm not sure which Andy Hull you know from the distorted images the media often make of stars, but the Andy I've grown to know over the past month or so is a man of grace and patience. He's a man with a big heart and simply refuses to let success get the best of him. Meet Andy Hull: the family man who jokingly (I think...) admits he suffers from a "dusting of autism."
