History
The band featured three key figures of the early rock movement in Argentina: Moris and Pajarito Zaguri in guitars and voice, Javier Martínez in drums. They were also the most important band playing at the "La Cueva" club in Buenos Aires, one of the mythical gathering spots from where many of the first Argentine rock bands would emerge.
The band did not have commercial success, due to this Los Beatniks broke up in 1967, a result of the commercial failures of their only single.
