West Boylston - Where the Streets Have No Name

http://www.myspace.com/joshuatreemass

What: The Joshua Tree (New England's best U2 cover band)
When: 5/1/09
Where: PJ's New England Bar and Grill West Boylston, MA

U2 is a well loved prolific irish band, and their music spans decades. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the old, new, and everything in between when The Joshua Tree packed PJ's New England Bar and Grill. Hailing from Boston, The Joshua Tree is a U2 tribute band ~ and deserved to be called so. To call them a cover band would infer they are not accomplished musicians; and they are. How else would they be able to offer such valuable entertainment on such an intimate scale?

Featuring:
Mike Golarz- Vocals, Guitar

Joe Wilson- Bass, Vocals

Ivo Matos-Guitar, Piano

Bob Pimental- Drums

Boston is the city with the largest Irish population, so a tribute of a popular irish ROCK band makes good business sense.

These guys packed the place with appreciative patrons who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford to see U2 in person.

Coming soon to a venue near you, The Joshua Tree travels all over the East Coast - from New York to Nantucket.
The Piccarella Family Welcomes you to PJ's Bar and Grill
No recession evident in West Boylston, as you had better arrive early to score a seat - bar or table. You would think three restaurants within walking distance of each other would be bad for business, but it is more boom than bust here. As the name suggests, PJ's offers authentic italian food in tradtional new england atmosphere. There is a spacious outdoor patio with umbrellas at every table, a large horshoe bar, brick inlay walls adorned with framed Boston athletes, and plenty of plasma TVs to watch the game. The new owner, Skip Piccarella, recognized that I was not a regular and chatted with me for a while.

He is a graduate of Boston University and has been on a few mean streets himself.
