Tex Brasket comes to Berlin in 2016. It's not his first attempt at a new start, but one that really fails: After the odd stupidity and a few missed opportunities, he ends up on the street.

Tex knows all about setbacks. Immediately after being born into a difficult home in Texas, he tests positive for various drugs. Neither an adoption nor a move to Germany and a period of schooling in the Bavarian provinces enabled him to escape the issues of violence and addiction. Now he is left with a sleeping bag, a handful of clothes and his guitar. And the feeling that nothing matters now - it's still summer in Neukölln. It is an unprotected life, characterized by mistrust, hardship and despair, but also by solidarity and hope.

He has bad experiences, learns his lessons, gets to know himself anew - and finds a new language: he begins to sing about this life. Over the next three years, he builds up a reputation and an audience as a street musician. And one day he is discovered as the new singer for the legendary punk band Slime. With his unique voice and, above all, the lyrics of the album “Zwei” (number 7 in the album charts), all of which he penned, he breathes new life into the 40-year-old band and expands the old fan base many times over. Since 2022, Slime have been playing in sold-out halls and clubs, as well as at renowned festivals such as Wacken, Open Flair, Ruhrpottrodeo and many more, in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
