A fixture in the Anaheim, CA live music scene for decades and a haven for metal shows over the years, Chain Reaction have announced that they will be closing their doors this month. A statement issued via the venue’s social media today, December 09th, reads as follow:
“Chain Reaction will be closing this month. Our final shows will be on December 18th and 19th with Movements.
For almost 30 years, Chain Reaction has proudly fostered the alt-music scene by creating a space for a community that the outside world “just didn’t get”. From your local bands gaining their footing at their first shows, to the humble beginnings of huge acts you now love, we’re grateful to have held a place in this scene for as long as we did.
This call wasn’t made quickly. We wrestled with it and have ultimately made the decision to close our doors.
We want to thank every band, fan and attendee of our shows. We want to thank the scene that supported us for almost three decades. We want to thank you for the friendships and memories made in our special club. Thank you for supporting us through the years and when we needed it most.
CHAIN REACTION FOREVER.”
Californian post-hardcore band Movements are set to close out the venue with a pair of back-to-back sets on December 18th and 19th with Miltarie Gun and more opening.
