2 here in the US. Business As Usual & Cargo.
I've seen Colin Hay solo a few times & it's always excellent. but the venues are tiny. Like a few hundred people tiny. His solo music is so fucking great too. But his career is basically the hits from Business As Usual. Down Under, Overkill, Who Can It Be Now.
LOL! I bootleg recorded one of the shows. 2006ish I think. Sounds like crap, but still fun.

This one is a little awkward, but Jani Lane (RIP) and "Cherry Pie"
although its well known he hated that song and the fact that
he was the Cherry pie man.... But like it or not, it was his and he
could milk it when he had too...
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!

Also John Paul Young with "Love is in the air."
The last three albums haven't been promoted in the States (but have won Grammys and topped the charts in their home market) but they have a new one (Bag of Bones) coming in April, produced by Kevin Shirley. Using a big name producer like that I think means they are going to try generate some interest in America again.

Even though the lineup is their classic linup from 1982-1984 they discussed not using the name "Europe" for the band going forward because they wanted to do something comepletely different and knew "TFC" was a double edged sword in the new millenium. Their new music is still melodic but with a MUCH sharper edge. They headlined the final day of the Bloodstock Open Air Festival in 2009 (and were voted best act center stage), something they could never have pulled off with Countdown era material.
Despite the general, conventional tastes of America being located near the lowest common denominator, I am honestly astounded that Poison are still chugging along.
Had anyone told me twenty five years ago that Poison would still be releasing music and touring in 2012, I would've laughed at them.
Same goes for Bon Jerkoff.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
I think in a lot of cases with those bands, it's just damn hard work. Always have something out there to buy, and always be on the road.
