Barricade Volume 2

Scope Productions is a student organization at the University of Iowa that’s dedicated to bringing unforgettable concerts to campus and the local community. From our biggest fall concert to celebrate Homecoming, to our smaller, intimate lamplights that highlight the amazing artists that call Iowa City their home—we pride ourselves in creating shows that will have a lasting impact, no matter the size.

Our team is run entirely by dedicated students with majors in every interest. From nursing and communications, to finance and engineering—we’re all united by a love for live music and a want to be involved in the music industry.

This year, our talented Digital Media director Abbie McLaren found the original BARRICADE zine in the drive. Members of our content team: Aspen Suthers, Clara Jarecke, Hadley Forsen-Yepes, Isabel Naderman, and Lucy Prescott worked in tandem with our directors: Abbie McLaren (Digital Media), Laisha Medina (Graphic Design), and Ida Bonkafo-Efofa (Amplify Editor-in-Chief) to re-imagine the zine and create a record of all that we’ve accomplished this year.

We’re proud to present Volume 2 of BARRICADE as a tribute to the original and the awesome team that made it happen. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we loved creating it!

urika’s bedroom KRUI and Scope Productions had the pleasure of hosting Midwest-raised, Los Angeles-based artist urika’s bedroom at Gabe’s on February 25th, just before they joined Perfume Genius on tour. The night was an immersive journey listening to their fusion of shoegaze, early ‘90s emo, and electronica.
