When it comes live performances, Thundercat knows how to put on one hell of a show. Following up his incredible summer appearance – aided by Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald — on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the west coast virtuoso pops up on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for a special Halloween outing.

Performing the acclaimed Drunk single “Them Changes,” Thundercat and his backing band — in-house Colbert musicians Jon Batiste and Stay Human — deliver nearly five minutes of otherworldly musical bliss. Always an eccentric, Thundercat also hits the stage in a colorful Dragon Ball Z costume, celebrating Halloween in style. From the intensely-funky bass grooves to Thundercat’s diamond-studded glasses, this one goes down perfectly.

You can check out Thundercat’s Colbert performance above. For those seeking more footage of the Brainfeeder talent’s powerful live act, check out his recent entry in NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.

Right before stepping on the Colbert stage, Thundercat also joined forces with Shabazz Palaces to release the glitchy visual for their Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star collaboration “Since C.A.Y.A.”
