FALLS CHURCH, VA (December 9, 2003) — The legendary George Thorogood and the Destroyers today showed that even the most veteran rockers know the value of a strong web presence. Working in conjunction with Charlottesville-based Musictoday, Viget Labs, a leading web design and development firm, announced that it has launched the all new www.gthorogood.com to coincide with the band's celebration of their 30-year anniversary. Viget Labs worked closely with band members and management to collect authentic materials from the band's historic "30 years of Rock" and to capture their hard-rocking style while providing a modern, content-rich web site.

With timeless hits such as "Bad To The Bone," "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," and "Who Do You Love," George Thorogood and the Destroyers has a strong fan following, which will now be better supported through a high-end web presence. The site features collaborative features such as a "tell a friend" tool and a pre-existing public message board, which remains active, to help expand the fan base while promoting the band's current touring schedule.

In addition to developing Internet strategies and sites for Washington-area corporate clients, Viget Labs has extensive experience providing web solutions for the entertainment industry. Its client roster includes Shania Twain, Britney Spears, and the North Mississippi Allstars.
