Biography
Detailed profile & career
Michael Ryan Pritchard (hailing from a birth on May 4, 1972), better known by his stage name Mike Dirnt, is an American rock musician who is the co-founder, bassist, backing vocalist, and occasional lead vocalist of Green Day. He has also played in several other bands, including the Frustrators.
Biography & Career
His stage name Dirnt was originally a nickname that his friends from grade school gave him, as he constantly played "air bassDC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Replacements, the Who, and Van Halen. At the age of 14, they formed a group named Sweet Children. After attending Salesian High School, an all-boys Catholic school for his first year, Pritchard transferred to Pinole Valley High School, where Armstrong had also recently transferred from John Swett High School. Pritchard's family struggled with financial troubles; in an effort to help out, he worked as a chef at Nantucket, a seafood restaurant in Crockett. He eventually saved enough money to purchase a used pickup truck that he and Armstrong often drove to Berkeley, where they attended shows at 924 Gilman Street, an influential DIY punk club. The pair got jobs at the club as security guards, despite their small physiques.
