Break-up and Rebirth
When At the Drive-In broke up, Omar Rodriguez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala spent more time touring with De Facto. In 2001, the members of the band teamed up with bassist Eva Gardner and drummer Jon Theodore to form the Mars Volta. In the following years, prior to the death of Jeremy Ward, De Facto played numerous shows, some featuring John Frusciante as a special guest on guitar, but did not release new material. Any future re-groupings of De Facto appeared highly unlikely due to the death of Jeremy Ward in May 2003, although the band was featured on the GSL Lab Results Vol. 1 Live DVD in 2007. However, in a radio interview conducted by Radionica Colombia on 28 October 2008, Cedric Bixler-Zavala revealed that after returning from the South American leg of the current Mars Volta tour, they will return to the United States and record new material for a future De Facto release. In the same interview, Bixler-Zavala also stated that he will be returning to the drums for the production. It remains to be seen what will become of these sessions.

Famous quotes containing the word rebirth:
“[Film noir] experiences periodic rebirth and rediscovery. Whenever we have any moment of deep societal rift or disruption in America, one of the ways we can express it is through the ideas and behavior in film noir.”
