> Even at a tiny venue if you get 200 people to show up and you make $10 a head on average that's $2,000 revenue a show, if you do 4 shows a week

This is completely unrealistic. 4 shows a week @ 40 weeks a year means you are touring. Touring costs will eat the vast portion of revenue. Also, at a 200 person venue, there is little chance the band will see $10 / head, regardless of the cover charge.
