== Break-up ==
In 2001, the members of the band teamed up with bassist [[Eva Gardner]] and drummer [[Blake Fleming]] to form [[The Mars Volta]]. Despite this, De Facto continued to play numerous live shows in the following years. During that time, Omar met [[John Frusciante]] at one of the shows, and the two became friends; Frusciante once joined De Facto on stage as a guest guitarist. The band, however, did not put out any new material, and following the death of Jeremy Ward in May 2003 due to drug overdose, any future re-groupings of De Facto appeared highly unlikely.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}
In a radio interview conducted by [[Radionica]] [[Colombia]] on October 28, 2008, Cedric Bixler-Zavala revealed that after returning from the South American leg of the current Mars Volta tour, new De Facto material might possibly be recorded.<ref>{{cite episode | title = Radionica: Cedric Bixler-Zavala interview | station = Radionica | location = [[Colombia]] | airdate = October 28, 2008 }}</ref> In the same interview, Bixler-Zavala also stated that he would be returning to the drums for the production. To date, it has not been confirmed if the sessions actually happened.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}
Since 2001 the only new De Facto release had been the live footage from January 3, 2001, show at The Smell, Los Angeles, including on the [[Gold Standard Laboratories]] DVD ''GSL Lab Results Vol. 1 Live'' in 2007. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, however, mentioned the possibility of releasing a documentary from the band's European tours, as well as previously unreleased tracks from Mario Caldato Jr. sessions.
