John Carlucci is a musician who lives in Los Angeles.
John Carlucci hailed from Queens, NY, and played bass for a power pop band called The Speedies.[1] [2]
In 2005, nearly thirty years after The Speedies broke up, their rare and obscure 45, “Let Me Take Your Photo”, was used by Hewlett Packard in a nationwide television commercial. The commercial exposure led to the song being regularly featured on the Jay Leno show as a musical lead-in to his "Photo Booth" skit and to the release of a long lost Speedies LP on Radio Heartbeat Records.
After moving to Los Angeles, Carlucci joined The Fuzztones and was with them when they signed to RCA Records and recorded the record In Heat. He toured with the group in Europe in the late 1980s.
In 2020, John Carlucci joined guitarist Elan Portnoy, drummer Ira Elliot, and vocalist Sam Steinig to form the band, The Overdrive Five.[3]
