[1] Only a moderate commercial success and plagued by management problems, the band went their separate ways in 1984, with members going on to join Survivor, Krokus, and, in Meyer's case, Asia.
After getting a call from Asia's manager, Brian Lane, upon a recommendation by Geffen Records A&R man, John Kalodner, Meyer agreed to travel to London, England for an audition as the band were looking for a replacement for Steve Howe.
There he began working with the likes of Mark Ashton, Stealin Horses,[1] Nelson, John Waite[2], and House of Lords, co-writing the latter's lead-off single, "I Wanna Be Loved", off their eponymous 1988 debut album.
Burnt out after seven years in L.A., Meyer decided to move back home to Switzerland in the mid-1990s where he immediately started writing songs and meeting people, including old Krokus bandmate, Chris von Rohr, who had just signed up as producer for Swiss outfit Gotthard.
After contemplating a solo album,[2] he was back with Krokus in 2005, replacing founding member Fernando von Arb on lead guitar,[3] and played on the band's 2006 release, Hellraiser.
[4] In 2011, Meyer teamed up with German vocalist Hagen Grohe, who had featured on Joe Perry's 2009 solo album, Have Guitar, Will Travel, under the name Katmandü, with former Krokus drummer Patrick Aeby, bassist François Mohr, and keyboardist Alan Guy rounding out the line-up.
On 4 August 2011 they performed at the Rock Oz'Arènes festival in Avenches, Switzerland playing Katmandü material and other songs from the Meyer catalogue previously recorded by Cobra, Van Zant, House of Lords, and Gotthard as well as a cover of Krokus' "Fire".
[6] They were joined by Jamison's son-in-law, Todd Poole (ex-Roxy Blue, Saliva), Jeffery Wade Caughron and Kory Myers for the occasion, performing songs off the First Strike album as well as a cover of Krokus' "Screaming in the Night".
