Mykel and Carli Allan: Difference between revisions

'''Mykel''' and '''Carli Allan''' are sisters that were friends and supporters of [[Weezer]] early in their career. They are considered the biggest Weezer fans of all time.

The Allans became scenesters (in the best possible connotation of the word) in the early-90s Los Angeles rock club scene.  They were early friends and supporters of Weezer as well as several other, mostly LA-based, unknown or unsigned bands of the time.

Much like [[Karl Koch]], they were friends of the band who remained very grounded, and never forgot what it was like to be a fan, but who just happened to have a special relationship and duties with the band.  As one of them said in an email to a fan club member, they regarded Weezer as "friends. They just happened to play music."

In mid-1997, during the latter portions of the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' tour, the sisters would make a point to show up at as many shows as possible, meeting with fan clubbers.  After a July show in Colorado, the sisters (along with their younger sister Trysta) died in a car accident.  Little has been released in the way of details, likely out of respect for the family's privacy, but it has been suggested that the driver fell asleep at the wheel, or that the Colorado mountains' icy or treacherous roads played a part, or possibly both.  The sisters were expected at the next show or two, but when they failed to meet up at the first show, there was a sense of uneasiness among the Weezer camp.  The band eventually found out on route to the next show.
