Topline:
Sad news for pretty much anyone who went out to see bands big and small over the past few decades. Chain Reaction, a storied Orange County indie venue, is closing down after some 30 years.
Why it matters: Over the years the Anaheim indie venue has hosted budding local bands and big acts alike, including Fall Out Boy and Turnstile.
Last shows: Chain Reaction announced on their Instagram that their final shows will be on Dec. 18 and Dec. 19. The Rancho Santa Margarita band Movements will headline.
No word on why the venue is shutting down.
"This call wasn't made quickly. We wrestled with it and have ultimately made the decision to close our doors," said Chain Reaction management on Instagram.
