Hamilton Circle Jerk

The Hamilton Circle Jerk is an annual music event in Hamilton, New Zealand. Named after a mutual masturbatory act, the Circle Jerk features 15 Hamilton bands performing 3 song sets, two songs by other Hamilton musicians as well as an original.

The first Circle Jerk was held in 2005. It ran into problems with sponsorship due to its controversial name, so adopted the alias 'Harden Up, Ow' – a pseudonym largely ignored in following years.[1] Local student radio station Contact FM has been running the event since 2008.
