The Beths: Why Kiwi artists struggle in Australian music scene

In five years Kiwi indie-rock darlings The Beths have sky-rocketed from playing K-Road's Whammy bar, to international success. Recent achievements include a NPR Tiny Desk concert, a stint touring with The National, and the acquisition of a new fan, former US President Barack Obama. The band is also among this year's finalists in the APRA Silver Scroll Awards, for their 2022 album Expert In A Dying Field. Lead guitarist and founding member Jon Pearce is appearing at this weekend's Going Global Summit discussing exporting Kiwi music to the world.
