In what seems to be de rigeur behavior these days, we've got yet another show moved. Whereas the Sunday, November 8, Dashboard Confessional show was moved to the Beaumont Club from the Uptown Theater, it seems that the Bouncing Souls show this Wednesday, November 4, has been moved from the Beaumont to the Riot Room.
It's somewhat harsh being a music fan in Kansas City these days. Passion Pit canceled their show at the Yard and Springsteen canceled his show at the Sprint Center, among other shows.
This isn't new, either -- the Julian and Damian Marley show at the Uptown earlier this summer was also moved from the Uptown, to say nothing of the Perez Hilton tour being made free after few tickets were sold, and the draw of Ida Maria removed.
So, what do you think? Is this a sign of the economy, or of bands not having the draw they once did, or a little of both?

It's the "not enough pre-sale" jitters that are causing it. Promoters aren't seeing the early ticket buys and are wanting to lower expenses as soon as possible thus moving to smaller venues.
I just think people are holding on to their cash longer and if a show sells out because they didn't buy early then, well, that's money saved.
That said!

Dinosaur Jr. was also moved from Beaumont to Riot.
I've wondered myself what's going on, but I guess it's fairly obvious that it's ticket sales.
Well the Springsteen one had nothing to with sales.
Some of these bands just aren't as big as they think they are. Dashboard was popular for one summer when "emo" was just starting, most of his fans probably have gone though college and learned about better music.
As for Bouncing Souls and Nas/Marley it was probably a little of both.
