Mykel and Carli Allan: Difference between revisions

The Allan sisters' impact on the band their fans is inestimable.  For several years from the release of the Blue Album, the sisters developed a unique experience for fans, acting as liasons between fans and the band.  Fan club get-togethers (sometimes featuring surprise visits from band members) and special mailings to fan club members were the order of the day.  One fan even reported that Mykel added his and a friend's names to the guest list at a ''[[Pinkerton]]'' release show at the Whisky A-Go Go in Hollywood, after learning that the fan club members missed out on buying tickets to the show, as they had sold out quickly.

There was a general consensus among fans at the time that things would never be the same again - and they were right.  Their passing was a contributing factor in the band's nearly three-year-long hiatus that ensued.  [[Karl Koch]] made a herculean effort to maintain the fan club, but it proved more than he had the time and resources for, and it eventually ceased to exist.  The primary reason for this happening was due to the fact that around this time, the internet was exploding, and Karl's involvement with the band's official site more or less supplanted the full necessity of a fan club.
