Carmella Evans was the lead singer of the Booked Animals, a massively popular Welsh band from Mynnydd Mawr in Elbian.

Early Records

The Booked Animals released their first record, "Responsible Drinkers Drink tequila", in 2210. The song was an instant hit, although many criticts labeled them "a band destined for one hit before dissapearing". Their first album "Pam Fi Duw? in 2211 sold respectuflly but far from dramatically.

Road to Fame

Carmella and the Booked Animals showed they had the talent to back up their first single with the release in 2212 of "Stuff the Scientologists". The song was picked up by supporters of the newly formed Plaid Gyfreithiol Cymru and became an instant hit. The PGC adopted it as their election anthem and Carmella and the Booked Animals was the number one attraction at the party's Music Festival of Protest. Carmella drove the crowd wild by shouting "Nigel Clark's "fair game"? Then you, me, him, her, them, Y Brenin Arthur and Cwlcymro are ALL fair game! Bring it on!" - a reference to the Scientologists habit of declaring opposition members "Fair Game".

Continued Success

When the PGC swept to power, the Booked Animals kept on growing in fame. Their last tour in 2218 was sold out within 28 minutes, a feat still unsurpassed! Over a hundred thousand fans packed a field on the outskirts of Clearwater for the final gig of the tour.

Untimely Death

Carmella Evans's body was found at her Mynydd Mawr home in the summer of 2218. The mansion had burnt to the ground. Police later confirmed that she had died of asphixiation. No cause was ever found for the fire and although the coroner delivered and accidental death verdict few of her fans believed it to be true.

Her death had occured during serious violent strife in Elbian between the Scientologists and the NPP. The Welsh sided with the NPP and, as the most famous Welsh-Dranian after Arthur and Cwlcymro Carmella was a prime target. No crime was ever proven however and the conspiracy theories will prevail for as long as her music is remembered.
