Jon Theodore refused to ever be in any band from El Paso.
 It was during this time that he met Cedric Bixler Zavala and Omar Rodrguez-Lpez, who were performing their first gig with their experimental dub band De Facto in El Paso, TX
 In 2012, Theodore replaced his Mars Volta successor Thomas Pridgen in the supergroup Giraffe Tongue Orchestra, though by 2015 the lineup had reverted to Pridgen on drums
