Low Profile were a New Zealand alternative rock band of the 1980s, formed by Phil Bowering (formerly of The Protons) and Steve Garden (Last Man Down, National Anthem), recording on the Jayrem label.
The band's lineup included - among others - the late Mike Farrell on guitar and vocals, Tom Ludvigson (the Jive Bombers, Snap, Bluespeak, Trip to the Moon) 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 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 (1986) and Simon Says (1987) did not fare as well.
Low Profile was a duo of two aspiring rappers and a DJ from Los Angeles, California. The group consisted of WC and DJ Aladdin, who went on to pursue a career in visual arts. The duo made its debut with Rhyme Syndicate Records, on a compilation album produced by Ice-T and Afrika Islam, before becoming a duo on Profile Records.
The group was a short-lived but influential West Coast hip hop duo. Together, they released one album, We're in This Together, before breaking up. They also appeared on the Rhyme Syndicate compilation Rhyme Syndicate Comin' Through. DJ Aladdin began working with Ice-T and WC formed a group called WC and the Maad Circle which included a then-unknown rapper named Coolio.
