'''John Kiffmeyer''' (also known as '''Al Sobrante''') was the original [[drummer]] for the [[Punk rock|punk]] band [[Green Day]]. He was given his nickname in reference to his hometown, [[El Sobrante]].


==Boy's national winners==
==Biography==
John Kiffmeyer was born in California in 1969. His first exposure in the punk scene was as the drummer of the band [[Isocracy (band)|Isocracy]]. The group was popular in the [[East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area)|East Bay]], and mainstays at the famed club, [[924 Gilman Street]].


===Football===
Kiffmeyer's claim to fame, however, is his time in Green Day. After the end of Isocracy, Kiffmeyer helped form the group. Because of his experience and knowledge of the underground community, Kiffmeyer was able to get the young band on its feet by placing calls to friends, among them prominent figure of the East Bay [[Larry Livermore]]. The first few performances took place at [[Contra Costa College]], where Kiffmeyer was a journalism student. On the strength of an early performance, Livermore vowed to release a Green Day record on his [[Lookout! Records]]. The group's first full-length effort, [[39/Smooth]] would feature a Kiffmeyer original, "I Was There", which documented the band at that place in time.


{| class="wikitable"
In 1990, he left the band to attend [[college]] at [[Humboldt State University]] in [[Arcata, California]]. Kiffmeyer later joined the band [[Ne'er Do Wells|The Ne'er Do Wells]], leaving abruptly in 1994. Following a stint with punk band The Ritalins, he became manager of The Shruggs until their split. Recently he produced "The Lost Troublemakers Album" by The Troublemakers, a garage band from Sacramento, California. He now lives in San Francisco, California with his wife Greta and his young son Lolo.
