Minneapolis hip-hop duo Atmosphere’s Winter Carnival Tour rolled into a very welcoming Brooklyn Steel on Thursday night for an incendiary show with a like-minded, stacked lineup that included Sage Francis, R.A. the Rugged Man, (whose set featured DJ Lala, Harlem native Danny Diablo and Brooklyn’s Bernadette Price) the Bronx’s own Kool Keith (joined by DJ Berlin, Ultramagentic MC’s bandmate Ced-Gee, and Denis Deft) and and Mr. Dibbs.

Synopsis

For most bands, Demos are things that at one time are necessary but soon after want to be forgotten about.  In todays digital age...fat chance of that happening.  So when it comes time to do it, do it right.  On occasion however there will come along who releases a demo and it blows up to be one of the pivotal releases in their discography.  Maximum Penalty is one of those bands, another ironically hails from the same town, or damn close (Yonkers) in Breakdown.  Their 87 Demo has been dubbed, pressed as a 7″, bootlegged, and now pressed as a 12″, and why the hell not?  This release is amazing.  Its got all the essentials including a live WNYU radio show.  True NYHC with a sense of humor and sarcasm which was often needed in those days.  What was truly great about bands like Breakdown and MP, they could fit on any bill.  SXE shows at the Anthrax, absolutely.  Big rooms like City Gardens, done that.  CBs matinees...ill stop there.  This is essential HC people.
