Saetia's live performance was marked with what seemed like years of tension being released at once, often resulting in dry heaving and self-inflicted injury, and on occasion nervous breakdowns. The band picked up momentum, and played shows regionally in the northeast and midwest. With little more than 4 songs, very little money and a lot of heart, the quintet recorded a demo tape with hair metal master, Ron Thal (later re-released as a 7" marked Level-Plane Records #1).
