It really depends on the venue and the sound guy. Big BIG venues aren't going to be loud, and the bands that usually play those have very well paid sound guys who know what the fuck they are doing.
It's when you get the little shit hole venues that are like 2,000 max capacity and a sound guy who is dumber than shit. - Then you're hurting. It's really about the acoustic levels. Not "omg teh band is teh hard rok".
Tiger Army at the Ogden in Denver CO was prob one of the worst for me. Their sound guy just sucks, and it was a tiny venue. They sound much better out doors, I don't go to see them anymore if they're indoors.
