Description from
Wikipedia:
Longmont Potion Castle (born
1972 or
1973) is the pseudonym of an anonymous surrealist prank caller who has been active in the
Colorado and
Los Angeles areas since
1987.
Details about his personal life are scarce and his real name is unknown to the public. Over the years, his mostly self-released albums have gained a cult following, notably amongst musicians.
Biography:
The
LA Record describes Longmont Potion Castle's albums as unlike those that most people associate with prank telephone calls, citing that his demeanor is nothing at all like that of
The Jerky Boys and
Crank Yankers and is actually closer to that of the alternative comedian
Neil Hamburger. The magazine goes on to cite some of the topics discussed and parties dialed in the artist's calls: "peacock bowel, owl bowel, peacock meat, squid meat, gorilla ointment,
Nugent,
Orange Julius, biblioduwangus, woven bread, moving rope and cords into another state, pleated clothing, the Epiphone
Dolphin, pumpkin brew,
GG Allin,
UPS, and opportunities to engender a coalition with the Vatican." In a review from the
Denver Westword,
LPC's recordings are described as advancing "absurdity as an art form."
The anonymous artist has himself described the albums he's made as "phone work" or "absurdist" art rather than the less sophisticated label of "prank phone calls", and has also said, "They may be dumb, but they're not stupid". Those on the receiving end of a Longmont Potion Castle call are often left confused and/or extremely angry, however his calls are rarely mean-spirited in nature. His recordings combine prank calls with sound collages and his own musical compositions, the majority of which are thrash metal instrumentals. Occasionally, Longmont Potion Castle filters his voice through a Digitech
RDS 8000 rack-mounted digital delay panel to produce odd sound effects, thus making whoever he has called even more confused.
In
2006, Longmont Potion Castle announced his retirement. In an interview with
The Nerve Magazine, he explained that the box set
Longbox Option Package would be the final LPC release. However, in 2008 he released a new CD,
Longmont Potion Castle Volume 6. In 2009, he released
Volume 7 (not to be confused with his
2005 album of the same name released as a part of the Longbox Option Package box set, a disc that contained only thrash metal music). The album featured several celebrity calls, including ones to singer
Eddie Money,
Jeopardy! host
Alex Trebek, and guitarist
Rick Derringer.
January 2011 saw the release of LPC 8, in which the artist primarily used Skype on a laptop computer to record the calls.
