Watch Kaytranada, Ravyn Lenae & Channel Tres Perform ‘Pressure’ & ‘Drip Sweat’ on ‘The Late Show’
Kaytranada, Ravyn Lenae and Channel Tres brought serious swagger to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert while performing a three-track medley on Tuesday (Sept. 3).
The night’s musical performance started with Kaytra and a crew of dancers turning up the energy with “Pressure,” the opening track from Kaytranada’s June album, Timeless, before Lenae delivers her silky vocals on “Video,” with the dancers then dropping it for the camera, before Tres bounds on stage to deliver his own Timeless collab, “Drip Sweat.”

In a highlight, Kaytra comes out from behind the decks to do a choreographed dance alongside Tres and the dancers, drawing a cheer from the crowd.
The late-night guest spot comes ahead of the 21-date Timeless tour Kaytranada and Tres are embarking on later this month. The run starts in Vancouver, B.C., on Sept. 14, then hits venues across the U.S. and Canada before closing with a Nov. 15 performance at the Desert Air festival in Palm Springs, Calif.
“When the Kaytranada tour offer came it was just like, ‘Wow, this is exactly what I need right now,’ Tres recently told Billboard. “I was excited to go on tour by myself, but then I was like, ‘Nah, Kaytranada and I together on a tour is just going to be the biggest dance party of the year.'”
“[My team and I] are so locked in to capitalize on the things I’ve already done,” he continued. “My routine is better. Me and creative partner, we’ve gotten better. I’m open to learning, but I’m also coming with fire. I’ve been rehearsing, and I’m honing in on things I haven’t before. Even if it’s just a dance move I want to add to my repertoire. I’ve been watching a lot of Broadway shows like The Wiz. Now I’m walking around in the house, but I’m doing it in a Broadway fashion.”
