The Beach Boys performed new song 'That's Why God Made The Radio' live for the first time on US TV last night.

The group, complete with Brian Wilson, were guests of Jimmy Fallon and performed a three song set on his late night chat show, including the first airing of their brand new single, also the title track of the iconic 60's group's new album.

Lead singer and album producer Brian Wilson says of the album, “Radio was my whole education. Chuck Berry, Rosemary Clooney, The Four Freshmen, Phil Spector, Little Richard... To hear That’s Why God Made The Radio on the radio would be a thrill beyond belief, it really would.”

“I got a lot of my appreciation for all of the creativity in the world, in terms of music, through the radio,” adds Mike Love.  “For all of us who grew up in the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s and beyond, the radio has played such a huge, important part in our lives.  When we were kids, we’d sneak out of the house and go and sit in Brian’s car and listen to the local radio stations on his car radio.”

You can see The Beach Boys perform 'That's Why God Made The Radio' below, now. The band also performed 'In My Room' and 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' during their three song set.
