I haven’t found an official FB or YT channel for R.O.O.T, but drummer Fish has a bunch of live stuff on his channel, 黃子瑜 (fish), including a set from this past February. This song starts off subdued and turns into a jazzy jam:

A couple of jazzy tunes to end the week...
The instrumental single Rain from bassist Richie Goods & vibraphonist 魯千千 (Chien Chien Lu) was released in December, and the clip above is from the release show. The band for the performance is a bit different than the recording, and features a soaring vocal from Jonathan Hoard-Voc.
Richie Goods-Bass, Quintin Zoto-Gtr, Miki Hayama-Keys, Allan Mednard-Drums. Richie & Chien Chien play together in a few different ensembles.
The song is credited to Brian Alexander Morgan and Jaco Pastorius. [from Wikipedia: "Rain" is a 1997 single released by the group SWV. The musical backing track is based on *Jaco Pastorius's "Portrait of Tracy."] Jaco Pastorius was the bassist for the legendary band Weather Report.

Music Producer: 小畢 Wico Weng (翁光煒) & 薛詒丹 Dan Hsueh
Song & Lyrics: 薛詒丹 Dan Hsueh
Arrangement by the band:
Piano: 許郁瑛 Yu Ying Hsu

Let’s hear 2 lovely shoegaze/dreampop songs by Whale Done 鯨魚號, these are both very strong tunes! =D
陳紜姿 Yun-Zin Chen-Vocal, 吳達叔 (Ta Yen Wu)-guitar/sound prog. (also in 50Hz 樂團), 黃維凡 Wei-Fan Huang-Gtr (is/was in 我的瓶子裡有魚 Fish In My Bottle), 莊芯瑜 Hsin-Yu Chuang (Po)-Bass/b. voc, 康偉理 Alexandre Candela ‘小康’-Drums/b. voc.
This is their half of a split EP with an Indonesian indie rock band called See the Eye.
See The Eye promo-ed the EP at their fb, but it’s not out yet -- at least, it’s not on their Bandcamp. They have other releases, including 2 new singles. Whale Done mentioned that there has been some delays, but they are very excited to have 2 songs out, I think this is their debut recording. We posted a demo version of one song earlier this year)
Upcoming Whale Done gigs:
2019.11.30 @TCRC Tainan- https://reurl.cc/Zn2EZ3
2019.12.01 @百樂門 Kaohsiung- https://reurl.cc/6gG9qZ
2019.12.06 @Revolver Taipei- https://reurl.cc/xDWo3V
