 In 2000 the band won GarageBand.com's seventh $250,000 recording contract on the basis of their song "I Walked Away"'s popularity with site members.However, the band never received this money (whether this is because GarageBand folded or because the band did not like the contract is not clear—the band has claimed both) and recorded the album "Bang Bang Bang" with their own money instead, although they were still able to work with producer Paul Fox.Between "winning" the GarageBand money and recording "Bang Bang Bang", the band released "Monday 23", which album's quality recording and high-end packaging led to a common misconception that the band had used the $250,000 from GarageBand in that project.
