#REDIRECT [[Hamilton Circle Jerk]]
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 [[Circle Jerk 2006|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.
