High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! De Facto are a dub-reggaeband from El Paso, Texas by way of Long Beach, California. Bassist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and drummer Cedric Bixler-Zavala are well known as members of the acclaimed, and now defunct band, At The Drive-In, as well as powerhouse The Mars Volta. In those other groups, however, Rodriguez-Lopez plays guitar and Bixler-Zavala sings. De Facto was not and never will be about keeping up with peoples' expectations, though... that much is certain. Having relocated to California from El Paso around 2000, Bixler and Rodriguez teamed up with keyboardist Isaiah Ikey Owens (formerly of the Long Beach Dub All Stars) and fellow-Texan Jeremy Michael Ward and re-launched their longtime 'side project', De Facto, alongside At the Drive-In. De facto mined an eclectic and constantly-evolving composite of sounds, hinging squarely on tripped-out, instrumental dub. Rooted within the realm of Dub reggae pioneers like Lee Perry and the Dr. Alimantado, De Facto the group also tampered in electronica, Latin/"salsa", and jazz which gave their sound a distinct, timeless quality.
