I don't buy any of this venue's lies - this is the worst club out there. I have years' worth of experience going to and playing shows at this place, and everyone involved in running it is a shady asshole. All of the stories covering this fail to mention that the venue booked NINE local support bands on this show. NINE. I don't buy these low-ticket-sales accusations. I saw the band at this venue in 2006 and it was a solid turnout, and I've heard many reports of full shows on this tour - so to randomly cancel a show due to not enough advance tickets being sold (especially for a band as notoriously untrustworthy), doesn't make sense. It just doesn't add up to me, especially knowing what this place is capable of. I have heard of MANY bands who refuse to ever play there again.

Also, the venue posted an absolutely amateur statement (written in bold, yellow text) written with horrible grammar and spelling on their website - really helps their credibility.
