Wishy is an American indie rock/shoegaze band from Indianapolis, Indiana. The group was formed in 2021 by singer-songwriters and guitarists Kevin Krauter (formerly of Hoops, among other bands, and active as a solo artist) and Nina Pitchkites (a.k.a. push pop). Other members are guitarist Dimitri Morris, bassist Mitch Collins, and drummer Conner Host.

In a 2024 interview, Krauter explained how they came together:

We were rocking the first name Mercury for a while and then found out there was another artist called Mercury on Spotify that had 50,000 or so monthly listeners. We were just starting out and there was this feeling that if we wanted to take this anywhere it could be problematic in the future. So we changed the name to Mana, which was the name I had been toying with for a long time. And then soon after we realized there was a Mexican band called Maná, and I was like, “Damn, they’re world famous!” Technically it’s spelled differently and they’re from a different country, so it’s probably not that big of a deal. But then eventually Spotify started populating our shows onto their page and some people came to one of our shows in Indianapolis thinking that Maná was playing. They were really mad to find out that it was us instead. And then once we started Wishy it was like a separate project from Mana, so we were trying to figure out what to do. Luckily our friend Jared [Jones] who runs Winspear wanted to put out some of Wishy’s music, but we were working on Mana at the time. He said to us, “It’s hard to do two bands at once. Why not fold both projects into one?” I was really hesitant for a while because the vibes were just so different. And then eventually we talked it out and decided it was the right move, and it’s been great ever since. I really am glad we did that.
