Several bands have written songs in honor of the sisters. Most notably, of course, is Weezer's 1994 "[[Undone]]" [[Mykel and Carli (Weezer song)|B-side]], currently available on the deluxe edition of ''[[The Blue Album]]''.  [[Black Market Flowers]] were the first to write a song called "[[Mykel and Carli]]", and in 2001 [[Jimmy Eat World]] would release the song "[[Hear You Me]]". The pair are also mentioned on the song “[[We Opened for Weezer]]”, released in 2016 by [[Nerf Herder]], a song that contains extensive references to the [[Pinkerton Tour]] where both bands shared a bill.

On August 15th, 1997, little more than a month after the tragic passing, a [[Weezer concert: 08/15/1997 - Hollywood, CA|tribute concert was held at the Palace Theater]] in Hollywood, California.  All profits from the show went to aid the Allan family in covering the large funeral costs.  Weezer headlined the show, which included [[That Dog]] (in what would prove to be their final show before disbanding the following month), and Black Market Flowers as the opening act.  A special solo performance of the song "[[Mykel and Carli (Weezer song)|Mykel & Carli]]" by Rivers, preceded by a special greeting to the crowd from the Allans' father Wayne, can be seen on the 2004 DVD ''[[Video Capture Device]]''.  This show would also prove to be [[Matt Sharp]]'s final live performance with Weezer.
