More about Circle Jerks in NZ:
The history of Circle Jerks in NZ dates back to 2005, when a bunch of Hamilton bands - pissed off at the lack of acknowledgment of their city's music scene from the likes of NZ Music Month - decided to host their own event in celebration of their music community, with local bands playing covers of songs by other local bands. There were 10 Hamilton Circle Jerks held over the years, plus the Dunedin music community hosted their own Circle Jerk annually for some years as well.
