Thundercat was joined by two special guests when he performed at Irving Plaza in New York City tonight over the course of his set: Robert Glasper, who came to sit in on keys, and later Dave Chappelle, who came on the stage to take the mic as Thundercat and Glasper played behind him. While talking to the crowd, Chappelle said, “Ladies and gentlemen: on stage tonight is the musical virtuosos… They spent hours and hours of their life practicing their craft, and tonight we get to enjoy the sum total of their work. Make some noise for your band.” He went on, “Thundercat, take this bass solo wherever you wanna go, ’cause we with you all the way, my brother, for real.” Watch it below, as well as some other clips from the show.

Feist has not played a show since 2014, and has not released an album since 2011. However, with her being on the lineup for the Eaux Claires festival this summer, signs are beginning to appear that she might be up to something. Now, in an aside in a recent Huffington Post article about her charity initiative to collect backpacks for HIV-positive children in Malawi:
Feist has been largely off the radar since the 2011 release of her award-winning album “Metals” and since the album’s subsequent tour came to a close the end of the following year. (Fans can expect her long-awaited follow-up in April as well as her vocals on the upcoming Broken Social Scene record.)
Feist even shared a link to the article on her official Facebook page, which appears to confirm the news.
