    Pre-match Music Performers

    Try Me are a disco-punk duo, exploding onto the Bristol scene with a contagious chemistry that has got the whole city grooving. The pair is formed of Hector Boogieman and Bendy Wendy - two free-spirits who indulge in a flamboyant silliness that infects your ears and your body. Their mischievous personalities combine with driving 90s beats to radiate an energy you can’t help but dance to.

    The band has spent the last two years producing track after track, inspired by the likes of The Scissor Sisters, Confidence Man, The B-52’s, (and anything with a raving analogue synth). For Try Me, disco-punk is an attitude, not a genre, defined by joy, dancing, and funky energy.

    Through wearing his heart on his sleeve, George Clement creates punchy indie tunes with dark lyrical undertones that discuss doubt and mental health. Influenced by the beautifully poetic MARINA and the energetically emotional Twenty One Pilots, George; armed with a piano and a microphone, will let you know that it’s okay to be a bit of a mess sometimes, mostly from personal experience.
