La'Mule (formerly stylized as La:Mule) was a Japanese visual kei rock band formed in 1996. The band became known for its distinctive visual style, featuring blood and bandages.
La'Mule were formed in 1996 in Shikoku, Japan. Allegedly the band was slow to release material as they preferred to participate in events with fans rather than spend time in the recording studio. Their first CD, Toki no Souretsu was released in April 1998.
In September 1998, both guitarists (Yuki and Fumi) left the band, and were replaced by Sin and Nao. Their first Japan-wide tour took place in November 1999.
In 2001, they formed Slit, their own record label, for the release of the album 'Climax'. In 2003, La'Mule announced an indefinite hiatus, however, they did re-form in 2010 in order to play a number of live shows. In 2012, the band formally disbanded. Their last concert took place on 6 April 2012.
