The Tornados were an English instrumental group mostly active in the 1960s. The house band for pioneering record producer Joe Meek. Their original and classic line-up comprised Alan Caddy (guitar), Clem Cattini (drums), Heinz Burt (bass), George Bellamy (rhythm guitar) and Roger LaVern (keyboards). Their instrumental material was composed and produced by Meek, and frequently had a futuristic sound, reflecting Meek's interest in electronics and sound manipulation. Although their first single "Love And Fury" bombed, the follow-up "1240431" caught the public imagination and was a number one hit in both the UK and USA; they were the first British group ever to top the US Hot Hundred.
