Emmysmoke99 is the new alias for Bang a Gong, pass it around.

I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN REMOVING LEE SOBEL FROM THE CHICAGO MUSIC SCENE

He is now using the name Emmy and on Instagram. Comment below to make venues aware of this Predatory Booker.

They've used the name Emmy Smoke, Iggy Bolan, Bang a Gong Productions, Emily Liza, or Lee Sobel (actual name) They tried to create a new page to run the same con called "Sound&Vision"

If they had nothing to hide they'd stop changing their name. He's floundering and he knows his time is up.

Comment, share, use the Google form.

SCAMMER ALERT: Sound&Vision is Bang a Gong. Help kick them out!

After renewed discussion in the community about Bang a Gong, Iggy Bolan, Emily Liza, and Lee Sobel (the name he takes money from on Venmo) They've popped up with the exact same scam.

This is currently being brought to the actual managers of Joe's On Weed and The Underground Lounge. Please help by up voting, sharing, and most importantly leaving a comment sharing your experience getting scammed by this organization.

We are so close to finally getting this guy the fuck out of Chicago, please sound off

A Whistleblower is Collecting Info on Predatory Bookers/Promoters in Chicago

If you or someone you know in the community has been taken advantage of financially by or witnessed the misconduct of a booking agent or promoter while working in Chicago, please take the time to add your experience. In an effort to expose a pattern of exploitation in the community largely perpetrated by one individual operating under a number of aliases and company names, an independent collective of volunteers is collecting stories and testimonies from anyone who has experienced financial, professional, or personal mistreatment in the live music scene.

Please take the time to submit your experience. And if you can, please comment, tag, or share with anyone in your network who may have been impacted by unfair business practices. All information provided will remain entirely anonymous.

Come out to Underground Lounge TONIGHT, hang with some cool bands and grab a couple drinks.

If you're in Wrigley or Lakeview tonight, this should be your priority.

Look not trying to be funny, I don't want anyone to have their worst day...

But real talk, of the proud collection of sketches, which one(s) just don't really land for you? Some I didn't at first but have grown on me, others not so much. So I'm curious what everyone else's take is?

After a band has been around long enough, if they are lucky enough to endure at all, they mostly reach the point where everyone agrees their best creative output is behind them.

I want exceptions to that assumption, give me your favorite oldies making newies that still show critics why they were legends in the first place.
