This thread looks dead but I just came across it and thought I would throw my 2 cents in.
Most of the venues are struggling recently because people just don't seem to go out as much anymore (at least up here in NYC). The bottom line is that they only want bands that can pack their club with fans that will buy their alcohol. There are very few places that still have that built in crowd. It is work but once you get in there and show them you can bring in some heads, they will treat you like royalty.
On the other hand, I bet there are a lot more bands that book a show and then cancel within a week of the show than there are venues canceling shows. Our fellow musicians have given us a bad name and we just have to drive on and prove we are different.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
