John Carlucci is a Los Angeles based musician. He originally hailed from Queens, in NYC and played bass for "The Speedies". The Speedies were a fixture on the NY Underground Rock scene of the late 1970s. They played most frequently at Max's Kansas City. and were voted the best unsigned band in the U.S.A. by the New York Rocker magazine in 1980.

Nearly thirty years after they broke up. Their rare & obscure 45, "Let Me Take Your Photo" was used by Hewlett Packard in a nationwide Television commercial.

After moving to Los Angeles, John joined the Fuzztones & was with them when they signed to RCA Records & recorded the "In Heat" record. He toured with the group in Europe in the late 1980s.
