After a few months of practicing and playing out, Nate and Courtney joined forces with a couple of friends— guitarist Greg Neil, who had just moved to San Francisco from Utah, and drummer Steve Galbraith, whose previous band Nate had helped record— and rechristened themselves Love is Chemicals. The new band got to work right away, writing and recording tracks for what would become the band's first album: the self-produced and self-released Lucky Me, Lucky Mud, completed in the fall of 2001.
Unfortunately, personal reasons caused both Greg and Steve to depart the band in May of 2002. Casting about for new bandmates, Nate and Courtney quickly recruited guitarist Nick Mirov and drummer Rajeev Dhar through a Craigslist ad. This second lineup debuted in the winter of 2002 and played several shows at the Stork Club, the Starry Plough, and the Edinburgh Castle before buckling down to the task of recording another album. The band went into Tiny Telephone in October 2004 to lay down tracks with producer Christian Hanlon and audio engineer Aaron Prellwitz. Mixing and additional recording continued for the next several months, during which time Steve returned to the band. Finally, in September of 2005, the self-titled album was released on the band's own label Near Earth Objects.
Love is Chemicals has received airplay from college radio stations across the country, and appeared on NPR's Open Mic showcase, WOXY.com's Unsigned program, and XM Radio's Radar Report. In 2006, the band played BAGeL Radio's California Homegrown Music Series and headlined at the Mission Creek Music Festival.
"Song of the Summer Youth Brigade" was released in February, 2008.

So amazing how his life turned out, considering growing up in a bad neighborhood, having so many brothers, and fighting for his exsistance. Sounds like the Navy was a turning point in his life
Someone Gets Me
Yes, and his story of having steak for the first time was so moving.

I love the way he is so upbeat. One of my all time heroes and so nice
Someone Gets Me
Tom's enthusiasm was infectious. I still smile when I reflect ton this show.

Comedy being a surgeon of our soul made so much sense to me too!
