Summary/Abstract: What is unprecedentedly changing the alternative music scene in Bulgaria nowadays is the management of clubs like Stroeja and Terminal 1. However, there are active alternative bands not fitting the clubs’ style and as a consequence in order to keep going as a band they have to travel abroad and basically become musical outsiders in their own country. The following article is a case study of one of the best Bulgarian alternative bands Voyvoda and an attempt to unravel a few major problems in the Bulgarian alternative music scene.
