Be sure to setup that business bank account quickly. It can take a few weeks to get everything in order. I believe you can do it as long as you have your Employer Identification Number (EIN).

This means you can do get the bank account and apply for the LLC in parallel.

In Florida for me, both the biz bank account and the llc were extremely fast. Llc was an online form with instant results, and biz bank account just required a visit to the actual office of my credit union. I needed the llc first in order to get the bank account in that name.
