The Flaps were playing in Madrid from 1959, having a changing line up till 1963. In these year they were banded by four Aeronautical Engineering students: Manuel Diaz Pallares (guitar), Jose Antonio Alvarez Alija (drums), Juan Antonio González "Ñique" (bass), Álvaro Yébenes (guitar), and Juan García Ros (singer). During the sixties appeared in several rock & roll festivals, including "La matinales del Price" and they signed for RCA in 1963, recording their 1st EP. At late 1963 Alvarez is replaced by José Luis Baizan (drums) and Yébenes is replaced by Francisco Manuel Seva on rhythm guitar being definitively established. By the way, Yénebes and Álvarez banded Los Continentales. In 1965, after stressing for their instrumental pure music and bright sound and accompanying voices like those of Albert Hammond and Steve Rowland, decided to end his career.
