Canvien el nom a , fent un EP a Edigsa en català. Vytas i Haalon Brenner tornen amb la família a Veneçuela i entra al seu lloc Isidoro (Doro) de Montaberry al baix i el mexicà Al Cárdenas a la guitarra rítmica. Amb un repertori en anglès signen amb la discogràfica Hispavox i es canvien el nom pel de Pic-Nic. A finals de 1967 editen el primer single amb gran èxit, arribant a ser primers a les llistes espanyoles al llarg de nou setmanes amb 'Cállate niña', però un any després el grup es va separar. Jeanette va tenir molt d'èxit com a cantant amb temes com 'Soy rebelde' (1971) o 'Por qué te vas' (1974), mentre que en Toti Soler, en Jordi Sabatés i en Doro Montaberry van formar part del grup Om.

  • Pic-Nic was a Spanish teenage folk-pop and sunshine pop band formed in Barcelona in the mid-to-late 1960s, composed of lead singer Jeanette, guitarists Toti Soler and Al Cárdenas, drummer Jordi Barangé and bassist Isidoro "Doro" de Montaberry. Although keyboardist Jordi Sabatés is often mentioned as a member of the band, he does not appear on any of the group's releases, having joined after their only published recording sessions had taken place. Pic-Nic was the successor to the short-lived group Brenner's Folk, originally founded by German-Venezuelan brothers Haakon and Vytas Brenner together with Soler, Barangé and Jeanette, an English girl who had recently moved to Spain after being raised in the United States. After releasing a four-song extended play for label Edigsa in 1966, the Brenner brothers left the band, being replaced by Cárdenas and de Montaberry. With this new formation and after signing to major label Hispavox, the group changed its name to Pic-Nic and released their lead single, the Jeanette-penned "Cállate niña", in late 1967. The record was a big hit during the spring of 1968, remaining on the top of the Spanish singles chart for ten consecutive weeks. The success of the song led to it being recorded in English for the international market as an EP alongside three other tracks. Throughout 1968, the band released two more singles—"Amanecer" and "Me olvidarás"—as well as their first and only self-titled studio album. Most of Pic-Nic's songs were written by Jeanette with the aid of Rafael Turia, a radioman who managed the band. Famous producer Rafael Trabucchelli was in charge of the records' arrangements, which moved the group's original compositions away from a strictly folk style. Pic-Nic soon broke up due to Jeanette's departure and differences between Soler's vision and Hispavox's demands. In 1969, the label reissued their only album with a new track listing under the title Cállate niña. Following the group's dissolution, Soler formed the progressive rock band Om, enlisting de Montaberry and Sabatés. On the other hand, Jeanette was recontacted by Hispavox and launched a successful solo career as a balladeer with the single "Soy rebelde" in 1971. Pic-Nic has since attained cult status and are celebrated for their California sound that set them apart from other local groups of their time. Their only full-length record was reissued in 2011 and has appeared in various critics' lists for the best Spanish pop music albums of all time. (en)

dbp:description
  • "Me olvidarás" was Pic-Nic's last single. Its production showcases Trabucchelli's lush string arrangements, which distanced the group from a strictly folk-rock sound, causing tensions with Soler. (en)
  • Part of Brenner's Folk's four song EP, the Catalan-language "Clara lluna" was fifteen-year-old Jeanette's first appearance as a recording artist and a stylistic antecedent of Pic-Nic, with a folk-pop influence and lyrics that revolve around nature. (en)
  • Unlike other singles from Hispavox, the Jeanette-penned "Cállate niña" is a departure from the dense "Torrelaguna Sound" that characterized the label, opting for a sober and acoustic style highly influenced by American folk music. (en)
