Eight Gigs: Cities You Wish You Were From

Eli and the Sound Cult has been suspiciously quiet—or dead, depending on how you look at it—since mid-2015. Elijah Jenkins has been busy, though, first debuting his darker electronic project Waste Money and, now, Cities You Wish You Were From. The latter takes a considerable leap from Jenkins’ previous work—no more pop, no more synth. With Tyler Downie on drums, Cities You Wish You Were From—a playful stab at Sacramento—is a rock ’n’ roll duo with a bluesy, gritty edge. Fans of Jenkins’ distinct vocal style, though, won’t be disappointed. 1901 10th Street, www.facebook.com/
