Biography
Early Days
Al Sobrante was the original drummer for Green Day (then Sweet Children). He drummed on 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and several other EP's. He did one tour with them and then dropped out to go to college. After that he produced Kerplunk and seemed to drop off the face of the earth.
Underground bands
However he has been seen around Berkeley 'hanging out, drinking beer, and playing in underground bands'. As for Ne'er Do Wells they changed their name to the Hi-fives and he no longer plays for them.
Family
John now lives in San Francisco with his wife Greta (they were married in the summer of '94). And as far as we know he no longer plays music.
