BAMP Project and Super CW present synthpop new wave band Future Islands live to The Republik, Hawaii’s newest concert venue, on Sunday, September 23, 2012. This concert is in support of and will benefit POW WOW Hawaii, a non-profit organization, engaging collaboration of contemporary artists on the creation of art in the islands.

Vocalist Samuel T. Herring, bassist William Cashion, and keyboardist J. Gerrit Welmers all first came together in the band the Art Lord & Self-Portraits in 2003 making electro-pop music while studying in the art program at East Carolina University. In 2006, their band split but these three went on to add drummer Erick Murillo to their group and formed Future Islands. The group self-released a couple of singles, “Little Advances” and “Split CD-R with Moss of Aura”, within their first year as a band. Their debut album Wave Like Home was released in the summer of 2008 under London based label Upset the Rhythm. After relocating to Baltimore, Maryland, they recorded their second album In Evening Air and released it under new Chicago record company Thrill Jockey in 2010.

The group’s latest album On the Water was recorded back in North Carolina and released in the fall of last year. Their music has reached new heights in this third album, built around exploring love, loss, and memory while continuing to deliver their unique sounds. The ocean plays an integral part of On the Water’s creation, as most of the recordings were done feet away from where the waves hit the shore and it comes alive in notes of their songs. Irresistible tracks include “Close to None,” “Balance”, and “Before the Bridge”. This album will both break
