I met Janine in Vancouver in the early '90s, she jammed with my band a few times... helluva voice.
I saw Same Difference perform about fifty times during the mid-eighties, a total fanboy. Now I'm absolutely stoked to hear this music again. Would love to hear back from any of the band's members
Awwww! Same Difference - what a fun band and what a fun group of people. I'll never forget my first tour across Canada in a rusted out van, staying in strangers' basements, playing great clubs like the Albion, the Red Dog, the Town Pump, the Railway, Call the Office - driving through the Rogers Pass in a blinding whiteout, making crank calls to Kerry Clarke from London, ON... I loved (and still love) the music we created together and, even better, the memories that I have of our time together. xox Chant (guitarist and unofficial cartoonist for the band)
I must have seen them five or six times, usually at the Westward Club.
What a great surprise to find them here today!
Wow... thank you so much for the kind comments and excellent memories. I would love to know who 'Dgrador' is!! And John and Mabby ... thank you so much!! ;-) We've posted by the cassette and a demo that we had completed here:

Heaps of thanks to CCPS for their outstanding work keeping great analog music alive in these digital times... Sooo many thankyou's!!!
Can't believe I found this. Thanks for the link to Soundcloud. Fantastic cassette. Brings back lots of memories of Calgary clubs.
I found a cassette player for 5 bucks and dug out some old tapes, and found this precious gem. I used to see Same Difference all the time at the Trading Company in Lake Louise when I worked there from 1988-1992. So so good, love it.
