Known as either The Hamilton Circle Jerk or Harden Up, Ow, this event is the brain-child of Mark Tupuhi of St Lucy. It features a number of Hamilton bands of various genres, each playing one or two covers of other Hamilton bands' songs, as well as one original tune.
This event was orginally named The Hamilton Circle Jerk by Mark. However, it was renamed Harden Up, Ow to help with promotional purposes. The original poster proved too popular though, and the Circle Jerk name continued to be used by many Htown.co.nz members and was the predominant name used in 2006. The event was inspired by a farewell event for Inchworm at Diggers in 1999, where a number of Hamilton bands played a small number of their own songs followed by an Inchworm cover.
