Watch Alvvays perform ‘Belinda Says’ on ‘Fallon’ in TV debut
Alvvays have made their debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week (January 10) – you can watch the moment below.
The band performed ‘Belinda Says’ from their latest album ‘Blue Rev‘, ahead of their US tour in March.
The song, which is a homage to eighties singer Belinda Carlisle’s hit song, ‘Heaven Is A Place On Earth’, was performed with a string section on the show.
Later, Carlisle tweeted about the performance saying she had “no idea” about the song before their appearance on the show.
The musician tweeted: “First of all I [love] the song and I had no idea about this! This is awesome and I’m so flattered @alvvaysband.”
