[edit] Beginnings

[edit] Fans

The three girls were initially cast in the mid-1980s for a TV show to be called Fans, which was to feature chats and sing-alongs with guest stars. When plans for the show fell through, a project was started to turn the girls into a pop music sensation.

[edit] Flans

The group was renamed "Flans" and their first album, Flans, was launched in 1985. Their style was mainly pop music and ballads although one of their albums (Cuéntamelo Dum-Dum) is somewhat child-oriented.

[edit] Career

[edit] First breakup

The group released a new album every year until 1991 when they separated, with a national tour and the release of their "last" album: Adiós.

After their separation in 1990, Ivonne married and devoted herself to painting; Mimí and Ilse started solo careers, with Mimí also being the host for a TV show.

[edit] Reunion

Rumors of a reunion started in 1999 and were confirmed with the 2000 release of Hadas, although further work by the group has been sporadic.

[edit] IIM

In 2002, the group changed their name to IIM and released a new album of Electronic versions of their greatest hits.

[edit] 20 Millas Después Good-bye tour

In 2006, the group returned under the name Flans for a good-bye tour "20 Millas Después", with a final concert in Mexico City. A new album has been in discussion since 2002, with Ilse and Mimi willing to record as Flans again, however Ivonne has said she is not interested in being a part of the group anymore, so a future for Flans seems unlikely.
