Conversation so far:
Who was in the band Future Islands originally?
Future Islands was formed in early 2006 with an original line-up consisting of Cashion, Herring, Welmers and Erick Murillo, bassist for The Kickass, who played an electronic drum kit.

Question: Did they know each other before that?
Self-contained rewrite: Did the original members of Future Islands know each other before forming the band?
