Weekend Agenda July 24-26

Friday night's Myth booking offers proof that the aggro yet safe-as-Softsoap stylings of Godsmack are still in demand. Scorpion Child summons rock gods of its own—the '70s kind—at the Triple Rock, while the grinning pickers of Drakkar Sauna let the old times roll at 7th Street Entry. Movie-wise, the Trylon goes retro with a double-shot of Buster Keaton, and the Riverview makes one-hitter (we're not talking about music, wink) dreams come true with a late-night, large-format screening of Pink Floyd: The Wall. If " goin' up north" describes your weekend plans, perhaps you'll be within toking distance of Widespread Panic at this year's 10,000 Lakes Festival.

Here's a custom clip for Scorpion Child's "Million Lines":

Dave Matthews Band helps to close out the 10KLF on Saturday. If that's not '90s-alternative gold enough for you, Toad The Wet Sprocket revives its eminently inoffensive college-rock at the Cabooze. Local noise-rock outfit The Blind Shake offers something altogether dirtier with a gig at Grumpy's. At the Dakota, The New Standards continue to re-interpret a diverse pop songbook with more muscle than you'd expect from a well-dressed cocktail-jazz unit.

Here's the video for Toad The Wet Sprocket's wussier-than-thou hit "All I Want":

Sunday finds recent Sub Pop signing Obits—featuring former Drive Like Jehu leader Rick Froberg—at the Turf Club. Overachieving local bassist James Buckley leads his formidable trio at the Red Stag. Folk-pop outfit The Northern Howl plays 7th Street Entry, joined by tuneful Eau Claire export The Daredevil Christopher Wright. At Orchestra Hall, the Smothers Brothers give Baby Boomers a welcome flashback.

Here's are some classic snippets from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour:
