What this music had in common with its more painted-up cousin, though, was a desire to stick it to the man and very little fear of the occasional aggressive crowd. Shows by the Business are meant to be rowdy, so the meek need not attend the show at Respectable Street, which will draw from 30-plus years’ worth of material.
