Butcher joined My Bloody Valentine in 1987, replacing original vocalist Dave Conway. Butcher, whose previous musical experience was playing classical guitar as a child and singing and playing tambourine "with some girlfriends for fun", learned that the group needed a backing vocalist ^[1]. She was finally chosen, beating out "this girl, Julie, who was going out with Douglas Hart from The Jesus and Mary Chain^[1]." Butcher became co-vocalist, as well as co-guitarist and co-lyricist along with Kevin Shields. She first appeared on the band's Strawberry Wine EP.
