THE MOUNTAINTOP MISHAP IS AN ALTERNATIVE/COUNTRY/JAMBAND FORMED IN MORGANTOWN, WV IN OCTOBER 2007. THE MISHAP IS: JUSTIN RAYY(DRUMS/HARMONICA), COLBY "CATFEESH" WHITE (RYTHYM GUITAR/VOCALS), RANDALL ODELL ELLIOT (LEAD GUITAR), DAVE PLUM (BASS). THE MISHAP IS BASED OUT OF MORGANTOWN, WV, WHERE THEY NOT ONLY FORMED, BUT ALSO WHERE CATFEESH, RAYY, AND DAVE HAVE LIVED THIER WHOLE LIVES. RANDALL ODELL HAILS FROM THE GREAT STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. THE MISHAP ALL STARTED WHEN CATFEESH, WHILE PLAYING ON THE OPEN MIC CIRCUIT BY HIS LONESOME, WAS SUGGESTED TO FORM A WHOLE BAND TO KEEP THE CROWDS ATTENTION BETTER. CATFEESH CONTACTED JUSTIN RAYY, WHOM HE KNEW TO BE A BASSIST. CATFEESH AND JUSTIN RAYY PLAYED AS A 2 PIECE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS (WITH CATFEESH SINGING AND PLAYING GUITAR, AND JUSTIN PLAYING BASS ON SOME SONGS, DRUMS ON SOME, AND HARMONICA ON OTHERS.) IT REMAINED THIS WAY FOR SOME TIME (THEY EVEN DID 1 SHOW AS THE 2 PIECE), UNTIL THE ACQUIRING OF DAVE PLUM. DAVE AND CATFEESH HAD KNOWN EACH OTHER ALL THEIR LIVES, AND NEEDING ANOTHER DYNAMIC TO THE BAND, THE MISHAP ASKED DAVE TO JOIN, AND PLAY LEAD GUITAR. AFTER THE ADDITION OF DAVE, THE MISHAP PLAYED SEVERAL SHOWS AS THE 3 PIECE (JUSTIN RAYY-HARMONICA/DRUMS, DAVE-LEAD GUITAR, AND CATFEESH-VOCALS AND RYTHYM GUITAR). IT WASNT UNTIL LATE FEBRUARY THAT RANDALL ODELL CAME TO A MISHAP SHOW TO SEE HIS FRIEND (DAVE) PLAY. AFTER THAT SHOW RANDY, WHO HAD BEEN IN SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL BANDS BACK IN N.C. ASKED IF HE COULD STAND IN ON BASS, SEEING AS HOW THE MISHAP WAS BASSISTLESS. THE MISHAP AGREED, AND RANDY STOOD IN ON BASS FOR THE FIRST TIME AT A SHOW AT "THE LITTLE VILLAGE", THE RESPONSE, AND SOUND WAS SO OVERWHELMING, THE MISHAP WELCOMED THEIR 4TH AND FINAL MEMBER INTO THE BAND, COMPLETEING THE LINEUP. THERE WAS TO BE ONE MORE CHANGE IN THE LINEUP ABOUT A MONTH LATER, HOWEVER, WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT RANDY WAS ONE HELL OF A GUITARIST, AFTER SWITCHING OFF FOR A BIT, IT BECAME SETTLED THAT DAVE WOULD ASSUME BASS RESPONSIBILITES, AND RANDY WOULD TAKE OVER ON LEAD.
