Captain Tallen and the Benevolent Entities: Performing Group in New York

About Captain Tallen and the Benevolent Entities

Captain Tallen and the Benevolent Entities is a New York City group working at the intersection of Rock/Pop song craft and free-form improvisation. They are part of Purgatory’s basement circuit, appearing in rotating-bill nights such as DOWNSTAIRS: Level Up! Video Game Club, where short sets move quickly between structure and disruption. Their collaborators in that scene have included DJ TK, Porcelain Vivisection, Clown Syndrome, Uncle Blender, Consumer Culture, Grace Givertz, Adelyn Strei, and Hannah Thompson. The band’s performances favor process over polish, letting the room’s energy shape the arrangements.
