They co-produced their debut EP, ''1,000 Hours'', with [[Andy Ernst]] at the Art of Ears Studio in San Francisco, California, in early 1989. Critics praised the production quality of the ''1,000 Hours'' EP. Before its release, Sweet Children changed their name to Green Day, which Livermore said would make it difficult to shift copies of the EP. They played their last show as Sweet Children in April 1989, and played their first show as Green Day in May 1989, supporting [[Operation Ivy (band)\|Operation Ivy]] at Gilman. They subsequently played a show in July 1989 with Necromancy, before the members participated in other bands.
