-'''''Hear You Me! A Tribute to Mykel and Carli''''' is a compilation album released in [[1998]] on Vast Records in tribute to [[Mykel and Carli Allan]], founders of the [[Weezer Fan Club]]. The Allan sisters had passed away in a car crash in July of the previous year.
+'''Goat Punishment''' is a pseudonym that has been employed by [[Weezer]] in the past, when the band played small, semi-secret club dates in the Los Angeles area.
-In the wake of the sisters' untimely passing, a tribute/benefit concert was organized to help the Allan family with the high funeral costs.  The show featured friends of the Allan sisters [[that dog.]], [[Black Market Flowers]], and was headlined by [[Weezer]]. The successful but somber event was held at the Palace Theater in Hollywood on [[August 15]], [[1997]]. The concert, in turn, inspired the album. The album contained mostly rare or unreleased tracks by bands that were friends or acquaintances of the sisters and/or Weezer, or who just plain wanted to help out.
+The name "Goat Punishment" was made up by Jon Williams of the band Volcano Suns. The name was then suggested to [[Mikey Welsh]] by his friend [[Todd Philips]] (formerly of Bullet LaVolta and Juliana Hatfield's band). Weezer first used the name at two club shows in [[1998]], which consisted solely of [[Nirvana]] and [[Oasis]] covers, respectively. Pat was either taking a break from the band or out of town at the time, so Philips sat in on drums.
-From the album's liner notes:
+The name was revived in late [[2000]], and again in late [[2001]], for a series of shows at small venues. The pupose of these shows were usually to practice a setlist for an upcoming opening slot, or work on new material in front of a live audience. By the end of the 2001 run of shows, the psuedonym became rather common knowledge, partly because Los Angeles-area radio station [[KROQ]] leaked the news on several occasions. To date, there have been nine total shows that Weezer has performed under the Goat Punishment name.
-::<small>''Some time ago, when joking about the possibility of a Mykel and Carli compilation CD, Carli stated 'we used to have dreams of a Mykel and Carli tribute, [but] some dreams must be abandoned.'  Although tragic circumstances inspired this CD, those whose lives were touched by the Allan sisters have turned their dreams into reality.</small>
