Rebel Star is an alternative country/pop rock band, formed in 2006 by the former Eva Braun and Popcycle member Milan Glavaški with musicians from Bečej, Serbia and Szentendre, Hungary, where he moved to live after the disbandment of Popcycle.
Rebel Star was formed in 2006 by Milan Glavaški, a former Popcycle and Eva Braun member, whom, having moved to Hungary, decided to resume his musical career. During the Summer 2006, at the Vrbas studio Kombinat Record, owned by the Veliki Prezir members Vladimir Kolarić "Kole" and Robert Telčer, with a lineup of musicians from which only the Hungarian drummer Attila Prikler and the Bečej bands Mizu and Superstudio guitarist Boris Smoje remained in the band, Glavaški recorded a promotional EP. The following year, the three were joined by Glavaški former bandmates from Popcycle, Ljubomir Rajić (keyboards) and Goran Obradović "Garwood Pickjon" (bass guitar, harmonica).
The band had their debut live appearance on March 25 of the same year at the Bečej club Scena, performing both as an opening act for Ken Stringfellow as well as being Stringfellow's backing band during the performance of his solo material and the songs he recorded with Big Star and The Posies. They also performed the song "Dream All Day" which Popcycle covered during the 1990s with lyrics in Serbian language entitled "Sanjam ceo dan" ("I Dream All Day"). On May 4 of the same year, at the Rebel Star performance in Bečej also appeared the reunited the original lineups of Popcycle and Eva Braun. During May, the band released the promotional EP in both CD format as well as in mp3 format for free digital download on the band's official website. The following month the song "Luna" from the EP appeared on the first place on the webzine Popboks domestic singles top list.
