On an unseasonably warm Madison day, a line started to build outside the High Noon Saloon, one of the most unique venues the city has to offer. With its brick walls and Western décor, the room has become a staple of Madison’s live music scene. The 20-capacity venue was sold out for tonight’s show featuring headliners Durry and openers Vial, both hailing from our neighbors to the west, Minnesota. Their draw clearly reached Wisconsin’s capital city, and fans showed up in full support.
The packed High Noon Saloon was ready to let loose like it was the weekend. With the stage just a few feet off the ground and all the way across the rectangular room from the entrance, fans packed in tightly toward the front.
The lone opener was Vial, a female three-piece whose catalog is mostly made up of quick punk hitters. They kicked off their set with “Ego Death,” featuring Taylor Kraemer on vocals before she took her bass back from the tech who filled in for the first couple of songs. Their cohesiveness as a unit was strong as they ripped through material in a tight thirty-minute set.

They also worked in a cover of Nirvana’s “Territorial Pissings” and several unreleased songs they’re developing. Vial surrounded their music with plenty of fun and quirky interactions with the eager audience. Vocalist and guitarist KT Branscom handled most of the talking and singing, with the rest of the band chiming in. As they continue to grow, there’s no doubt Vial will be hitting bigger stages soon.
Durry, the Burnsville, Minnesota natives, crossed the Mississippi River to deliver a high-energy, entertaining night of indie and pop rock. On vocals and guitar are the brother-sister duo of Austin and Taryn Durry, the main force behind the band, joined by Ashley Durry on bass and Dane Hoppe on drums.
As the show opened, Durry took the small stage as a wall of flatscreen TVs lit up. The background imagery synced with each track in its own unique way. Starting with “Bully” and “Monopoly Money,” the tightly packed venue sang along and danced. The energy was electric from start to finish. Austin and Taryn even encouraged fans to sign up on an app to win a rare VHS copy of their music videos, jokingly asking, “Who even owns one of those things?” Later, they invited two fans onstage to compete in Mario Kart on the screens while the band performed “Porcupine,” splitting the room into cheering teams.
Everything about the evening was about having fun and embracing your goofy side. Their set included tracks like “Start a Band,” “Worse for Wear,” and “I’m Fine.” The catchy riffs and addictive melodies captivated the crowd, whose voices filled the air word for word. It was the kind of environment that reminded you why live music matters.
Austin Durry also shared a touching story about a fan whose brother had ordered their album before tragically passing away. When the album arrived, it brought him a sense of closeness to his late brother. That moment perfectly captured the power of music and how it means something different to everyone. The song that connected them was “Who’s Laughing Now,” the track that blew up on TikTok and sent the entire venue into a frenzy.
As the band waved goodbye, chants of “one more song” rang out. They laughed about not being able to leave the tiny stage, so they decided to stay and play “Suburban Legend” to close out an amazing evening.

Durry are onto something special. Their live show feels fresh and genuinely engaging. The way they speak to the crowd is honest and friendly, creating a rare connection between artist and audience. With their strong songwriting and professional approach, it’s only a matter of time before they’re filling even bigger rooms.
