I quickly saw the South African connection &#8211; Paul Rez of <a title=\"Lark and Mr Cat &amp; The Jackal at Klein Libertas\" href=\"http:\/\/lauramccullagh.com\/blog\/2012\/03\/lark-and-mr-cat-the-jackal-at-klein-libertas\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lark<\/a> and Humanizer, now based in London, is one quarter of the British band. I enjoyed their\u00a0<em>VVV\u00a0<\/em>EP and heard they were cool at <a title=\"RAMFEST: Day 2\" href=\"http:\/\/lauramccullagh.com\/blog\/2011\/03\/ramfest-day-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ramfest<\/a> so was keen to see them. And &#8216;cool&#8217; is exactly the word for them &#8211; a stylish and sexy band with a retro-modern sound and great live presence.<\/p>\n<p>It was almost impossible to look away from <a title=\"She's a model too\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shewired.com\/entertainment\/2013\/12\/12\/17-reasons-swoon-over-out-androgynous-model-harmony-boucher\" target=\"_blank\">frontwoman Harmony Boucher<\/a>, and not just because her dress was really transparent. She seemed to me somewhere between hardcore rocker and adorable pixie &#8211; at one point she asked if it was midnight and when the crowd confirmed that it was after she delightedly declared &#8216;then it&#8217;s my birthday!&#8217; and later brought out some champagne when they came back for their encore.<\/p>\n<p>Always nice to see an <a title=\"Sunday at the CTEMF\"
