Mistula is the first Filipino virtual band, and is composed of four customized ball-jointed dolls. They fuse music, graphic art, literature, photography, and other art forms, built around themes of Catholic imagery and cultural commentary.
The band disseminates information and releases songs as well as other creative projects through their official website, and their online presence is maintained through their regularly updated blogs chronicling the band's virtual lives.
Since its formation, Mistula has received recognition from various music websites, such as PhilMusic.com, the Philippine music source; Rakista.com, the online community of Pinoy rock; and PinoyRadio.com, a New Jersey-based web station. The band has also been featured in magazines such as RockNation and Sense&Style, both Philippine publications; Fashion Doll Quarterly, a U.S.-based doll magazine; and German publications, Mangaszene, and Cho². Their official fansite, The Black Rosary, has gained membership from all parts of the globe since the site's launch.
Mistula has garnered international recognition by being the first Filipino band to win a place in the International Play & Rate Competition of the UK-based site, Overplay.
In 2007 and 2008, Mistula was featured on Philippine TV programs, such as Lovely Day, Mel and Joey, The Sweet Life, and G-Cube.
