Low Profile (New Zealand band)


Low Profile were a New Zealand alternative rock band of the 1980s, formed by Phil Bowering and Steve Garden, recording on the Jayrem label.
The band's lineup included - among others - the late Mike Farrell on guitar and vocals, Tom Ludvigson and Stuart Pearce.
Low Profile released two albums - Quiet Streets and Elephunkin', but are best remembered for their quirky single Elephunk In My Soup
with its unlikely instrumentation of hosepipe, slap bass and synthesizers, which was a staple of student radio in 1984. The Elephunk video was a finalist in the 1984 New Zealand music awards.
Two follow-up singles, The Cutting Edge and Simon Says did not fare as well.
