    One day, Jake went looking in the backroom closet for his trusty snare drum, but found only an old, black leather bound suitcase covered in dust. He tried to open it, but the latch was stuck. He called Joe and Colin over. Joe shook it—they could hear something inside. Colin worked on the latch with a screwdriver, nothing. Jake grabbed a drumstick from off the floor and started hitting the top of the case, hoping it would open. Within minutes Jake realized he had found something, and within a few hours the Toughcats’ first album, Piñata was completed. Their music is the kind that builds a following because it is pan-generic, yet respectful of the greats, and mindful of the nuances of their influences. Their music is attentive not only to their musical ancestry, but also to their contemporary audience. This is not a band that forces itself on a listener—this is a band that is sought by a listener.
