Musical influences include George Lynch (Dokken/Lynch Mob), Warren DiMartini (RATT), Reb Beach (Winger), and Vito Bratta (White Lion).  Although his roots are heavily saturated in a tangled web of 80's/90's glam-metal...he also incorporated a heavier sound to his playing influenced by bands such as Anthrax, Overkill, Testament, Metallica, & Megadeth.

      Throughout the years, Derek has developed his own style of melodic hard rock, filled with edgy, pop-metal guitar rhythms, emotional soloing, and the occasional piano/synth-based ballad.

History
In the autumn of 2005 the band known as Nestunes was formed. All pieces came together at a Halloween party when Emil(Guitars) decided to join Johan(Keyboard), Roger(Bass) and Lennart(Drums) to form the Nintendo tribute band eventually called Nestunes.

For the first 6 months all the band did was to practice all songs from the game Life Force along with bits and pieces from games like Ice Climber and Kung Fu. On the 27th of May, 2006 Nestunes played their first gig at Swedish cult festival "Kôrpehôls-Festivalen". Nestunes performed a 9 minute long Life Force Medley (type: Nestunes Life force 2006 on youtube.com to watch the video).

The band started rehearsing music from other games such as: Metroid, Tecmo World Wrestling, Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus and many more. When they had a bunch of songs they recorded a rehearsal-tape called "Nestunes - Drunk at Galaxia”.

Nestunes also decided to adopt the look of their favorite Nintendo heroes/villains so they made costumes and started playing live dressed as Starman, Octorok, Link, Mario and Luigi. The combination of great musical material, costumes and humor rendered Nestunes a reputation for being a great live act. In 2009 After a few years of rehearsing and performing Nestunes went into the studio to record "the Nintendo Crescendo" a collection of 10 songs featuring games like:
Ice Climber/Kung Fu, Little Nemo the Dream Master, Metroid, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Rush n' Attack, Super Mario Land, the Legend of Zelda, Tecmo World Wrestling and Pro Wrestling.

On the 23rd of July in 2010 the "IWADON: Hiroyuki Iwatsuki Tribute Album" was released featuring Nestunes playing the "Enchanted Forest" theme from Super Nes game Pocky and Rocky. Around this period of time Rogers job makes it more and more difficult for him play as often with Nestunes as he'd like so the band enlists longtime friend Josef as a stand-in bass-player. Josef played on many classic live performances. He is now one of two equally important bass players in the band. And the bass player most often seen performing with Nestunes.

in 2011/2012 Due to work, depression and relationships(the eternal hindrance of male creativity) Nestunes experience a period of very low activity until they decide to make a second studio recording featuring all the game-music they had rehearsed and performed live but never had recorded. So in lthe winter of 2012/2013 Nestunes starts the recording with the working name "Nestunes Forever" featuring music from: Castlevania, Chip and Dale, Ducktales, Gunsmoke, Ice Hockey, Journey to Silius, Life Force, Adventures of Lolo, Bubble Trouble, Super Marios Bros. 1, 2 & 3, Megaman 2, Shadowgate, Wizards & Warriors, Nintendo World Cup and Zelda 2. 

The summers of 2013 and 2014 was full of nice gigs . Most of them were recorded and captured both in video and audio by friends and arrangers. September first 2014 the playlist: "Nintendudes - the thumb-blister generation" was created on Soundcloud.com marking the beginning of a 15 week long period of tracks being uploaded with new Nestunes material. The first track was "Vampire Thriller" featuring music from Castlevania and the final song was Marios Medley covering songs from the three first Super Mario titles. Both Roger and Josef played bass on ”the Nintendudes”.
Nestunes laid low after the release of ”the Nintendudes” but Starman remained active exploring the many Wrestling-videogame-soundtracks on his own. 

A few years later Nestunes  was again back at work. In 2018 they did some gigs, much rehearsing and arranging new songs. Turtles and Robowarriors was released late 2019 and there is plenty more coming in the near future. 

Cheers from sweden / Nestunes, the band

Combining the sounds of progressive, symphonic, and melodic hard rock and metal into a unique and personal musical story, Evaded strives to recreate the magical sound of the underground progressive metal scene of the 90s, a time when epic songs drenched in synth pads and echos were a rebellious act of defiance against a mainstream culture obsessed with celebrating the mediocrity of grunge and alternative rock "pop stars".

I very much started out playing instruments very late in life, and spent much of my earlier days listening to it, rather than playing it. I am very much a self taught musician and regard my instruments very much like implements, tools or devices to write with, rather than being anything remotely near a good playing musician of any great technique. 

I guess I really got into instruments more back in 1994 when I got into my first band (though I did learn to play the Harmonica when I was 8 years old) it was around this time I wrote a song on the Guitar entitled Oldtime Street. The song is very much even today one that contains some of the finest lyrics I have ever written, and very much perhaps inspired me to carry on.

Though the band back in 1994 was a very short affair, it was not long after I got into a R&B band performing Rock & Blues in various pubs around my own town Birmingham. I was very much the lead singer in this outfit which lasted some 6 years. Though during these years the band had gone through several line up and name changes and came to a stop in 2001. I suppose it was a bit of relief in a sense, because it's quite easy to put a band together, but murder to keep everyone happy, and keep it going.

Even though I only really did Vocals and played my Harmonica in the band, I still found time now and then, for my guitar, and my keyboards at home, and I also contributed in a big way to our own compositions in the band.

My tools are as follows:

Studiologic VMK-188 Plus 88 Key Midi Controller Keyboard.

Yamaha PSR E303 61 Key Keyboard (Used Via Midi)

Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar.

Yamaha ERG121 Electric Guitar.

Encore E4 Bass Guitar.

Various Harmonicas in many Keys.

Alesis Performance Pad Pro Drum Machine & Pads. 

Audio Technica AT2020 USB Microphone.

Vic Firth Drum Sticks.

Various VST Software for Keyboards, Guitars & Mixing.

Cubase 5.

Ableton Live 8.

Steinberg Wavelab.

Influences are from mainly 70's Prog/Rock/Blues/Traditional Folk/Electronic Music.
