Biography channel the rock club boston

Making its debut tonight is Channel 1, Greater Boston's largest (capacity 1500) rock club at 25 Necco st., near South Station. Entrepreneurs Joe Cicerone, who owns North End North restaurant in Saugus, and Harry Boras, former manager at Jason's, contemplate booking nationally known rock acts Monday-Wednesday with local/regional rock groups Thursday-Saturday, and Sunday given over to local country and western bands.

While earlier ads had projected Channel 1 as a "new wave" facility, the exclusivity of the label was later deemed misleading. The Neighborhoods headline the launching tonight with the Dawgs opening up.

Tomorrow, it's Count Viglione's rock spectacular with Love and Flame, Mission of Burma and a new La Peste.

While the next biggest room, the Paradise, can accommodate 500 people, Channel 1 can handle close to 1700 (although just how comfortably remains to be seen).
