Hip-hop stalwarts Atmosphere plan to donate $1 from every ticket sold off their website for a fall tour  to benefit victims of the Minnesota bridge that collapsed.

Tickets for the 26-city outing, dubbed the "Everybody Loves a Clown Tour," went on sale Wednesday at atmosphere. ducatking.com. A Minneapolis date will be announced later.

The bridge tragedy hit home at Atmosphere's record label, Rhymesayers Entertainment. Julie Graves, fiancée of Brother Ali's DJ Brandon Kelly (BK-One), was on the school bus in the incident and is still recovering from broken bones and other injuries.

Many other Twin Cities hip-hop acts also are trying to help bridge victims. Carnage, Desdamona, Unknown Prophets, Leroy Smokes and Bobby Hatfield have put together an Aug. 30 fundraiser at Foundation nightclub.

Desdamona and Carnage also will perform with Unicus, Out of Bounds and others at a benefit Saturday night at the Dinkytowner Cafe.
