Lordi have achieved considerable success already. They're on their 3rd album now and have gigged consistently and popularly round Europe for a good few years (including last year's Download festival in the UK). They have a relatively small but enthusiastic following over here too.
They may only be a one hit wonder over here, where the majority of people don't seem to like anything either foreign or 'outside the box' but I suspect they've still got plenty of shelf life where musical minds are broader and more adventurous.
