The Tornadoes were a surf band from Redlands, California, the first to receive national airplay with a surf instrumental. The song was "Bustin' Surfboards", released on Aertaun Records in 1962, and it has since become a classic and mainstay of the surf genre. One of its distinctions, and appeals, was that the song opened with the sound of an ocean swell (that continued throughout the song), thereby creating a sense of being at a beach. The album with the same name was released in 1963.

  • The Tornadoes were a surf band from Redlands, California, the first to receive national airplay with a surf instrumental. The song was "Bustin' Surfboards", released on Aertaun Records in 1962, and it has since become a classic and mainstay of the surf genre. One of its distinctions, and appeals, was that the song opened with the sound of an ocean swell (that continued throughout the song), thereby creating a sense of being at a beach. The album with the same name was released in 1963. The band, however, did not manage to follow up on their success. Their song "Shootin' Beavers" was banned from airplay because of its suggestive title. The band temporarily changed their names to The Hollywood Tornadoes, because the British band the Tornado(e)s, were charting with the song "Telstar". "Bustin' Surfboards" was included on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack in 1994, thereby renewing interest in the band. The Tornadoes continued to perform through 2007. Members as of 2007 (including four members of the original band) were brothers Gerald (bass) and Norman "Roly" Sanders (lead guitar), their cousin Jesse Sanders (rhythm guitar), Leonard Delaney (drums) and Joel Willenbring (saxophone). In 2005, they released a CD called Now and Then on the Crossfire Publications label containing 29 tracks, including live recordings from their performance at the Zappanale concert in Germany in 2003, cuts from a 1998 CD and two new recordings. According to the band's website as of November 2008, the band has decided to retire and is no longer touring or performing.
  • The Tornadoes (nicht zu verwechseln mit der britischen Instrumental-Rock-Band The Tornados) sind eine US-amerikanische Surf-Rock-Band der 1960er Jahre, die 1961 von den Brüdern Gerald Sanders (Bass) und Norm „Roly” Sanders sowie ihrem Cousin Jesse Sanders und Leonard Delaney Schlagzeug in San Bernardino, Kalifornien unter dem Namen „The Vaqueros“ gegründet wurde. Mit dem Zugang des Band-Mitglieds George White wurde der Name in „The Tornadoes“ geändert.
  • The Tornadoes, provenienti da Redlands, in California, furono la prima banda surf a ricevere un'attenzione internazionale per lo stile nuovo che si andava delineando. La canzone che li portò al successo fu "Bustin' Surfboards", realizzata nel 1962 sull'etichetta 'Aertaun Records', e da allora è diventata una delle pietre miliari del genere surf. Una delle sue caratteristiche era il fatto che la canzone iniziava con il suono dell'oceano (che continuava durante tutta la canzone), creando così una sensazione molto simile a quella di stare in spiaggia per davvero. L'album con lo stesso nome venne realizzato nel 1963. La band, comunque, non continuò il successo, la loro canzone "Shootin' Beavers" non venne mai realizzata a causa del suo titolo suggestivo. La band cambiò momentaneamente il suo nome in The Hollywood Tornadoes, a causa del fatto che la band inglese dei The Tornado(e)s, stava scalando le classifiche con Telstar. "Bustin' Surfboards" venne inclusa nella colonna sonora di Pulp Fiction del 1994, rinnovando l'interesse per la band. I Tornadoes ancora oggi fanno concerti e hanno quattro dei membri della band originale. I membri sono i fratelli Gerald e Norman "Roly" Sanders, i loro cugini Jesse Sanders (seconda chitarra), Leonard Delaney e George White. Recentemente hanno realizzato un nuovo CD chiamato "Now and Then" per l'etichetta Crossfire Publications che ha 29 tracce tra cui registrazioni live dalla loro performance allo Zappanale Concert in Germania nel 2003, tagliate da un cd del 1998 e 2 nuove tracce.
