UK-based “shame” performs at George’s Majestic Lounge with opener Been Stellar at 8 p.m. May 28 in Fayetteville.

Now on a tour of the U.S., the quintet recorded their noisy, riff-laden “Food for Worms” while playing festivals across the pond. The songs find frontman Charlie Steen mixing up spoken word lyrics and anthemic hooks that lean into loud, full band singalongs, then drift into slower, more nuanced rhythms. Fans of Pavement may want to give this band a listen.

Tickets for the show are $18-$20 at George’s Majestic Lounge.

Mud Lung celebrates “10 Years of Tinnitus” starting at 7 p.m. May 27 at George’s. Also celebrating 10 years of the local sludge metal band are Vore, BRAT, The Weeping Gate, Obliviate, Morbid Visionz and HOSS.

Stoney La Rue

Fans can expect “Feet Don’t Touch the Ground,” “Look at Me Fly,” “Us Time,” “One Chord Song,” “Oklahoma Breakdown,” “Empty Glass,” “Hill Country Bungaloo” and “Message In a Bottle” when Stoney La Rue takes the stage at 9 p.m. May 28 at Lee Creek Tavern in the Cherokee Hotel & Casino in Roland, Okla.

The free show is for ages 21 and up. For more information, visit cherokeecasino.com and click on the Roland tab or call 800-256-2338.
