Indie rock band play three songs in half hour set.

Brighton indie rock band, The Hutmegz, recently completed a half hour set that only included three songs.

Each song only lasted between two and a half and three and a half minutes, whilst the rest of the set was spent begging the audience of 14 people to give them a 'like' on favoured social media network, Facebook.

Despite the venue only measuring 20 foot by 15 foot, and the audience comprising friends, family, the barman and the sound engineer, lead singer, Simon Cassidy, insisted on reiterating the need for them to 'like' The Hutmegz's Facebook page "to keep up with the latest news from the band, as well as forthcoming gigs" for people who might not be familiar with them, such as the other bands and the friends and family they had brought, who were all at the venue's other bar or outside smoking.

Cassidy clarified: "If we don't get as many 'likes' as possible on Facebook, I mean, what's the fucking point of even being in a band? It's really important for marketing because of how everybody else is doing it."

Whilst some time was given to other social media platforms such as Twitter, which automatically updates from their Facebook page, and Instagram,for pictures and short videos of the band for you to not really look at as you scroll past, Facebook was by far the priority.

Cassidy's relentless begging like a pathetic fucking idiot trying to validate his band's existence by whining at people to click or tap that precious 'Like' button was not completely in vain, as the morning after the gig The Hutmegz's Facebook page had achieved two new likes: one from a person who mistook them for a band from Portsmouth called The Nutmegs, and another who stated that other visitors to the page would not believe how much money they earned from home.
