The night before Thanksgiving is notoriously known to be the biggest night out. For those who look forward to partying with the masses, Buffalo’s bars can get quite chaotic. But if that’s the scene that you’re looking for, then you’re guaranteed to find it.
This year, there is an alternative to the standard bar scene, which might appeal to those who are looking for something a but different. There’s an event taking place at the Hotel Lafayette that is bound to get hip music lovers amped up for the holiday season. Not only is the Knowmatic Tribe Soundsytem back from NYC (welcome home, we missed you), there will be representation from Igloo Music, Cutler, LOPRO, Projex, and even showings from The Path band and Lazlo Hollyfeld. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are five rooms that will be dedicated to live music, arts, chaos and charity – donations for Toys for Tots (bring one new, unwrapped toy and receive a gift card for your first drink.) Following is everything that you need to know… or see the Facebook event page.

Once upon a time in 1994, in the basement of this very building, The Knowmatic Tribe was born. With a few crackling speakers, a big sense of humor, and a bloodlust for the funk TKTSS began, forever changing Buffalo’s EDM underground.
On this night – through music, shock factor, unity, & the spirit of their late brethren & co-founder Christ Sinister.. they’re back. The legend and the reality. The Knowmatic Tribe.
