Wisconsin artists Bon Iver will be playing Saturday Night Live on February 4th. In related news, leader Justin Vernon also announced that he will be starting his own label, Chigliak, an imprint of Jagjaguwar. Chigliak will focus on rereleasing overlooked albums on vinyl, starting with a reissue of Eau Claire, WI's Amateur Love's It's All Aquatic album. Amateur Love features ex-Bon Iver members DeYarmond Edison Brad and Phil Cook, who now play with Megafaun.

The name Chigliak is a reference to Northern Exposure character Ed Chigliak. Bon Iver released their last album in 2011. The band will also be a part of the 2011 Coachella festival in April.
