Bon Iver to Play 'Saturday Night Live'

2012 is shaping up to be one hell of a year for Bon Iver. After earning high spots on a more than a few year-end lists and locking down four top Grammy nominations (Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album), the Wisconsin folksters announced they will make their 'Saturday Night Live' debut on Feb. 4. The announcement was made by 700 young angels, in a thin falsetto.

This week, the Justin Vernon-led outfit also announced they will play Coachella's main stage in April. On top of that, Vernon is launching a record label, Chigliak Records, which will focus on putting out rare albums that were never or only locally released. So yeah, it seems that the guy has found ways to spend his time other than living in a cabin in the woods for months at a time.
