  Green Day consists of childhood
friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitars,
vocals) and Mike Dirnt (bass), along with Tre
Cool (drums). The band got started in
California when Armstrong and Dirnt formed a
band named Sweet Children while in their
teens. When drummer, Al Sobrante, was added
to the mix in 1989, Green Day was formed (Tre
Cool became the band's permanent drummer
after the release of their first EP and after
Sobrante decided to go to college).
Green Day released an EP, 1,000
Hours. The band found some success with
the local punk scene and was signed to
Lookout Records - a local independent label.
 Green Day's first full LP, Smoothed
Out Slappy Hour was released.
When Kerplunk! was released
and became a hit with underground radio, the
band found their way to signing with a major
record label.
