DESCRIPTION:
CODY CANADA AND THE DEPARTED RELEASE NEW SINGLE, MUSIC VIDEO, "ALL NIGHTER," FEATURING RECKLESS KELLY, MICKY AND THE MOTORCARS
 
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas -- (January 25, 2016) Cody Canada and The Departed release today the new single and music video, "All Nighter," featuring members of Reckless Kelly and Micky and the Motorcars.
 
Penned by frontman Cody Canada, "All Nighter" was filmed at storied honky-tonk Floore's Country Store in Helotes, Texas. The video features Willy and Cody Braun (Reckless Kelly), Micky and Gary Braun (Micky and the Motorcars), and Braun family patriarch Muzzie Braun, along with their respective families. The song is delivered fluidly, with each vocalist presenting a verse.
 
The on-screen camaraderie documented through the super-group engaged in an intimate, unplugged jam session following a family meal is a direct reflection of the genuine bond the six vocalists share behind the scenes.
 
Canada reflects on the development of "All Nighter," which was ignited by the tragic passing of Micky and the Motorcars' bassist, Mark "Gus" McCoy in 2012, "When Gus passed away, I felt as if I needed to write something for him. I felt so bad about that situation."
 
While serving as a memorial, "All Nighter" is also a celebration of family and friendship.
 
"Muzzie and my wife, Shannon, had a conversation about raising good boys like he had. He told her, 'keep them close by your side,'" Canada recalls. "We spent many nights at the Braun house in Idaho playing songs, but I didn't notice until after I had already wrote and named the song that the wood-burning stove in their home was called The All Nighter," he continues.
 
"All Nighter" is one of 11 songs on The Departed's 2015 release, HippieLovePunk, and was recorded at Arlyn Studios in Austin. The music video was filmed and directed by Tony Gates.

The music video can be viewed https://youtu.be/s_l73VWStao and the single is available now on iTunes.
