The list author says: "It's official, Paul Collins and Peter Case have confirmed their reunion tour for 2012. Like many bands, they said it would never happen; there were no plans to reunite The Nerves. When I interviewed both Case and Collins a few years back, they both stated that a Nerves reunion was unlikely. More recently, The Nerves experienced a resurgence in popularity when their songs were covered by Cat Power and several other indie rock artists.

Peter Case & Paul Collins - Two longtime friends, musical partners, Americana heroes and founding members of legendary rock group The Nerves will be joining forces for a North American tour in 2012, including special dates at the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas and some appearances in Canada. The tour is a reunion of Peter Case and Paul Collins, two founding members of The Nerves. Rather than focusing only on The Nerves' material, their sets will encompass the entire careers of Case and Collins. Expect to hear classic tunes such as Hanging On The Telephone and Walking Out On Love, in addition to key songs from The Plimsouls, The Beat and related works of Case and Collins. This will be a full band electric tour where the duo is backed by members of The Paul Collins Beat. Paul Collins Beat have released 15 albums since 1977. In 2009, Collins worked with producer Jim Diamond, best known for his work with The White Stripes.

Paul Collins/Peter Case 2012 Tour Schedule starts March 1st 2012.
Peter Case and Paul Collins have both established themselves as hard-working singer-songwriters. As the story has been told, Peter Case began his musical career as a folk singer, writing and performing on the streets and in the clubs and coffee houses of San Francisco. Collins moved to California in 1974 with only $75, a station wagon and a guitar. His life changed after meeting Peter Case and Jack Lee and the trio began writing songs and performing as The Nerves. The group funded their own studio recordings."
