theres a place in rockford illinois called minglewood, pretty easy to get a gig lots of bands from all over come to play, some really good local bands as well, not sure how much they pay but heres the website

http://www.minglewood.us/

a couple of other places in the area are C.J.'s lounge in Rockford, Chubby's House of Rain in Poplar Grove, and The House in Dekalb, all of these are in illinois and all fir our style of music, these are the best places in the my area there are others but they aren't that great, hope this helps
