Low Profile were a New Zealand alternative rock band of the 1980s, recording on the Jayrem label. The bands lineup included - among others - Phil Bowering (formerly of The Protons), Steve Garden (Last Man Down, National Anthem), and Stuart Pearce (Coconut Rough).
Low Profile released two albums - Quiet Streets (1982) and Elephunkin' (1987), but are best remembered for their quirky single "Elephunk In My Soup", [1] with its unlikely instrumentation of hosepipe, slap bass and synthesiser, which became a staple of student radio in New Zealand in 1984. Two follow-up singles, "The Cutting Edge" (1986) and "Simon Says" (1987) did not fare as well.
