West Coast readers rejoice! Unless of course you live in San Francisco (more on that later). Andrew Bird--who's The Mysterious Production of Eggs won the coveted top spot in our year-end list for 2005--is hitting the road for a series of West Coast dates beginning this Saturday in Denver. The tour will see Bird testing much of the material that's set to appear on Armchair Apocrypha, which is due this coming spring on Fat Possum. Eggs favorites will also be played so fellow fans needn't worry. Dates are after the jump.
