Circolo Vizioso is a Berlin based band, started by Paul Geigerzaehler from Germany and Tony Scafidi from Italy.

Paul sings and plays violin, and formerly played in the band "Berlinska Droha.” He is currently part of the “Kopfstand" -

a collective performing readings and music in the historical former squat "Supamolly" in Berlin.


Tony Scafidi plays guitar and sings, and was the co-founder and one of the composers of the Post Punk quartet "Spriggan" 

and of the noise duo "Il Veleno del Popolo!". Tony currently play in his one-man band "Tony Malaria" alongside with Circolo Vizioso.


The band adds talent and rhythm with Canadian drummer Kris Youakim giving a solid drumming performance throughout the songs!


Circolo Vizioso (Vicious Circle) plays abrasive, groovy punk music influenced on the one hand by the New York, Chicago and Washington sound of the Ninentees, from bands such as Fugazi, Blonde Red Head and Sonic Youth, and on the other hand by the early 80's and 90's  Eastern German and the Eastern European sound of punk bands like Dezerter, Sandow and Schleimkeim.


Circolo Vizioso started off on a balcony in Friedrichshain in Berlin, in March 2020 during the lock-down time caused by the Covid 19 emergency measures as an attempt to keep art and music alive and to provide support to the neighbours during a time when no show, cinema, museum, or gallery were open. 

Circolo Vizioso are a last ditch effort to resist the isolation and the lack of social and human contact, as well as the hunger for music and art during this unusual time.


Circolo Vizioso will be releasing their debut album "Isolation Circle" on September 12th, 2020 backed by COK Records based in Rotterdam. 

The record release will be marked by a live show happening on the same day at the Freilichtbuehne Weissensee in Berlin. 


The EP was recorded at the Studio B in Berlin Kaulsdorf by Sound engineer SMAIL SHOCK using a Studer tape machine and an analog desk from the seventies

Paul Geigerzähler

Ganz früher, als in Berlin noch diese seltsame Betonwand herumstand, wurde in Budyšin ein Kind geboren, das früh die musikpädagogischen Errungenschaften der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik geniessen und Geige spielen wollte, durfte, sollte, musste.

Die Betonwand fiel um. Ich schnitt mir einen Iro, schmiss die Schule und begann eine Lehre als Hausbesetzer. Ich warf die Geige an die Wand, besorgte mir aber bald eine neue, weil ich zu faul war, Gitarre zu lernen. Mit dieser spielte ich in den 90ern in Bands mit lustigen Namen wie Köterkacke. Nachdem diese sich auflösten, fing ich aus langer Weile an solo Musik zu machen. Ein Name musste her, Geigerzähler passte ganz gut und als eben jener toure ich seit 2003 meist durch den deutschen Sprachraum, spielte aber auch schon mal in Tel Aviv, Ramallah oder New York.
Anfangs war das Punk ohne Schlagzeug, Gitarre und Bass unplugged mit Geige und Gesang. Später kamen Folk-, Reggeanummern und zwei Duos hinzu – Berlinska Dróha und Atze Wellblech. Außerdem spiele ich hin und wieder Geige zu elektronischer Musik.
