The story
While Carpella Parvo is credited with playing cello with Rasputina, she does not actually exist and was simply an in-joke between the other band members.
”Yeah, I might as well go all the way with this. On the first record, Carpella Parvo. [Julia] Kent and I just made that up. Carpella was like carpal tunnel, because we gave ourselves carpal tunnel playing the other parts.”
-Melora Creager, leader of Rasputina.
