The band began as small jam sessions after At the Drive-in shows.
The original band consisted of Omar, Cedric, and Jeremy playing local shows around their home town, El Paso, Texas. Cedric says, "Yeah actually we used to be called the Sphinktators, that was early De Facto, just more rock." Omar was actually the singer of the Sphinktators and remembers, "We used psychedelic sounds, Cedric played the bass, Jeremy played guitar, and Ralph [Jasso] played drums." After their first recording they brainstormed the name 'De Facto Cadre’ Dub', which was later shortened to De Facto. That recording became How Do You Dub? You Fight For Dub, You Plug Dub In, which they released on Headquarter Records, now known as Restart Records. Omar met Ikey at a hiphop show and they exchanged numbers and then Ikey met up with them during one of their shows and joined De Facto as their keyboard player midshow. El Paso redirects here. ...
After the first album the lineup was switched around. Cedric began to play drums as he had before in his first band the El Paso Pussycats, Omar played Bass and Jeremy, At the Drive-In's sound manager and cousin of guitarist Jim Ward, ran samples, sang and did the sparse guitar work. After relocating to the west coast Ikey Owens joined the band on keyboards. Isaiah Ikey Owens (born December 1, 1975) is an American Keyboardist known for his work with The Mars Volta and an array of other bands from the Long Beach music scene. ...
Their next album, Megaton Shotblast! was released on the Gold Standard Laboratories label, and received instant success, probably in part due to the popularity of At the Drive-In. The group's general style was instrumental dub, but they also dabbled in electronica, Latin/salsa, and jazz. These new ideas led to what would become their next band. In late 1993, while attending the University of Colorado at Boulder, Sonny Kay (vocalist for the hardcore punk band Angel Hair) began releasing records by local bands under the label name GSL. The moniker was inspired by the source of the original funds used to finance the first couple of...

Any future re-groupings of De Facto now look highly unlikely due to the death of Jeremy Ward in June 2003. Though in 2007 Cedric hinted at possible new material, though it is unknown if it is just unreleased recordings or new recordings. De Facto was most recently featured on the GSL Lab Results Vol. 1 Live DVD in 2007.
De Facto broke up when their vocalist and sound engineer Jeremy Ward died of a drug overdose in 2003, who was also in the Mars Volta with the rest of the band from 2001-2003, but once he died De Facto died and only the Mars Volta lived on.
