Episode 039: A La Carte With Brian Aubert

Brian Aubert, lead singer and guitarist for the Silversun Pickups, is a hugely talented guy. He's also a sweetheart and a smart-ass and blast to hang out with. And Christy feels lucky that they had a chance to do just that on the latest A La Carte episode, since he and the band have been super busy with their new album, "Widow's Weeds." They discuss growing up in the same part of the San Fernando Valley in the 1980s, the movies and bands that shaped him, how he got his start playing music and how this hobby turned into a career. They also spend a good amount of time talking about sobriety, since they both stopped drinking last year. This one gets a little heavy but it's mostly a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy.
