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 [cite web
