Guitarist Ryan Adams of Connecticut traditional doom outfit Nightbitch recently got in touch with a link to a pro-shot live clip of the band in their new trio format. Nightbitch was previously fronted by none other than Phil Swanson — who has been in more bands than I can count but recently vacated the lead-singer post of Hour of 13 (still remaining in Vestal Claret and Seamount) — and drummer Chris Taylor has taken up the vocal role in this revamped incarnation.

Those aren’t easy shoes to fill, but Taylor does well with it, and as Nightbitch moves forward in following up their Sex and Magic EP (released last year on limited cassette and vinyl), it should be interesting to hear what he comes up with for melodies to complement Adams‘ doomly riffage and the formidable low end of bassist Mark Eles.

Here’s “Disrober/Sex and Magic,” filmed live somewhere in Connecticut:
