History
Formation in 2007

In July of 2007, drummer Danny Fabrici had recruited friend and guitarist Mil Savich to play in a then-side-project to Fabrici's metal band "Jotes Failin'". The original idea for the band was to be "a cross between Led Zeppelin and the [Red Hot] Chili Peppers," Fabrici said. With the break-up of Jotes Failin', former JF guitar player Chris Jostes joined the band, as well as JF bass player Chris Brown. The original name for the band was "Gooch", however the name changed many times over the band's first year, until the band finally settled with "Your Mom".

In of August of 2008, Your Mom recorded a three song demo at Savich's house. The demo contained two original songs, "Flatts" and "Birthday Suit", as well as a guitar cover of the main riff from the Jotes Failin' song "Hellfire". Ironicly, the cover was recorded by Savich, who, at the time, was the only member of Your Mom not to be a former member of Jotes Failin'.

After the mixing and mastering of the demo was completed in September of 2008, Jostes quit the band because he did not want to practice anymore. Shortly after Jostes quit, Ely decided to leave the band as well. Fabrici and Savich agreed to keep playing music together. Savich asked long-time friend Jordan Brun to become the new bass player for Your Mom. Brun agreed, and Your Mom would remain a three piece.

During the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009, Fabrici and Savich continued to practice together and create new music. On Valentines Day, February 14, 2009, they asked their friend Patrick O'Connor to practice with them, which led to the three creating a new band, CosmoNot. Shortly after Brun rejoined the group to complete the line-up.

Name
The Name "CosmoNot" originally came from Danny Fabrici sitting on Mil Savich's couch flipping through a dictionary. He came across the word "Cosmonaut", which is the name of a song by At The Drive In, one of Fabrici's favorite bands. Savich agreed to the name, as long as it was spelled incorrectly "to give it their own meaning. So the band finally settled on the name "CosmoNot".
