[edit] Biography

Hank Flamingo was founded in the late 1980s in the state of Tennessee. By 1994, they were signed to a recording contract with Giant Records (Warner Bros. subsidiary label), who released the band's eponymous debut album that year. The band received rotation on radio (although none of their singles charted), and their music videos were shown on the television network CMT; in addition, Hank Flamingo made an appearance on the talk show Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[2]

Eventually, Hank Flamingo's membership dissolved, and Trent Summar founded another band known as Trent Summar & The New Row Mob, which also included former Hank Flamingo guitarist Philip Wallace.[2]
