"This year Kavarna Rock is something like the Bulgarian Rocklahoma, you know, the American festival known for gathering all those bands that you seem to have dorgotten over the years, bands like Trixter or Faster Pussycat for instance.

Of course is not a glam or hair metal festival, it's still pretty much the same festival you know, but more intimate and kind of more retro. There are much less entertainment in the festival area, less places to have beer or snacks, but there's the same feeling in the air and you can still see a lot of familiar faces in the crowd.

There's a general sense of Kavarna Rock becoming an event where people use to meet each and every year rather than a musical festival. But it's not like the crowd doesn't care about the music at all and that is why the audience is obviously decreased in numbers.

It's clear that the majority of Bulgarian fans are not aware or do not care about platinum has beens like Dokken or American heavy metal pioneers like Lizzy Borden."

These are just the first words of STIFF's live report for the KAVARNA ROCK 2012 festival.
