The recording sessions for the demo took place at a converted garage in Hollywood, CA. The band "borrowed" the facilities without the consent of the studio's owner and recorded on the sly. Jon Pikus, drummer for the band El Magnifico and friend of the band sat in as recording engineer. Over the course of two nights, the band recorded five tracks. Rivers also recorded a 30 second rendition of classical music (either Bach or Beethoven) to serve as a "bonus track". | The recording sessions for the demo took place at a converted garage in Hollywood, CA.

Koch recalls, "Jon was at the time a capable but still learning engineer, and the tape, while being the best-yet representation of the band, was still flawed by some sonic strangeness, such as a snare drum that sounded kinda like a tennis ball hitting a racket." | Koch recalls, "Jon was at the time a capable but still learning engineer, and the tape, while being the best-yet representation of the band, was still flawed by some sonic strangeness, such as a snare drum that sounded kinda like a tennis ball hitting a racket." | ||
