I'm getting a bit sick paying 200 RMB every time I go and see a semi-well-know act here, and am instead trying to focus my attention of local acts at smaller venues. Can anyone tell me some good bars/venues?

The Gulou establishments all offer regular live music such as Temple, Blue Stream Bar, Old What, Jianghu. I wouldn't rule out the bigger venues altogether though because sometimes entrance is not expensive and you can catch some gems of bands. 2Kolegas is a great place, especially in the summer, Yugong Yishan has good events (though usually expensive and established bands), or you could check out Mako Livehouse in the Shuangjing area.
Check out the Hot Cat Club - I think they have some good local gigs on at times.
