Sneaky JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE did a number on fans and followers alike when he tweeted that he and his new band, FreeSol would give an impromptu performance at his restaurant, Southern Hospitality in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen, New York after a few hours’ notice.

Hollywood celebrity websites barely caught Justin‘s Twitter announcement and immediately hied it off to the restaurant just in time to catch his new hip-hop/rock group give a mini-gig at Southern Hospitality to the delight of patrons.

The crowd quickly swelled to humongous proportions and people flocked in from the street, swelling into rock concert size that police were summoned to help control the sudden flash of humanity.

Timberlake thanked theĀ  audience for coming with a cheeky:

“So you got my tweet, huh?”

Celebrity fans Emma Roberts, Amanda Seyfried and Kim Kardashian were present in front row seats – an advantage of apparently having their noses permanently pressed to their respective Twitter feeds and catching the news as it happens.

Fans went wild as Justin took to the keyboard, guitar, and did a rap, performing the band’s debut single “Hoodies On, Hats Low,” and his own “What Goes Around…Comes Around.”

The impromptu performance was Justin and FreeSol’s sneak preview of their free concert later tonight at the Irving Plaza in New York.

Smooth, Justin. We’re betting you got your marketing savvy from either Steve Jobs or Kris Jenner.
