Time Out says

PHILLY! Next Friday Little Big Things Crew returns to The Trestle Inn for yet another funky jump off! This month we've got DC heavy hitter and music historian NITEKRAWLER ( Kevin Coombe ) joining us! When it comes to this record stuff Kevin does not play ( except for literally playing records ). He's one of the most knowledgeable dudes in the game and one hell of a DJ! As always: No cover, Whiskey Drinks, Go-Go Dancers, Tiny Records, and FUN! Hope to see you in the place! ABOUT DJ NITEKRAWLER We gotta say, not many DJs in the game can throw down an all-45 set of downright obscure and forgotten 45s while maintaining a high level of feel-good party rocking craftsmanship. Kevin Coombe a.k.a DJ Nitekrawler has been honing his skills at H Street’s Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar for years. His MONEYTOWN party continues to be D.C.'s best outlet for a dance-friendly mix of funk, soul, boogaloo, breakbeats, Latin, and more. The Washington Post writes, “DJ Nitekrawler has getting crowds to dance down to a science: wickedly funky drums. Deep, rubbery bass. Punching horns. Shaking tambourine. The unmistakable chicka-chicka shuffle of wah-wah guitar.” He’s not only a schooled DJ dropping mean grooves, but a catalyst behind the cataloging of records by legends and lesser-known artists of the Washington D.C. & Maryland funk, soul, & R&B era of the '60s to the early '90s (including all related sub-genres and descendants such as Go-Go and Disco). In 2010, DJ Nitekrawler was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition and is working on a book that delves deeper into the D.C. and Maryland music. Discovering Old D.C.
