"'Seven Days in the Sun'" is a song by Welsh rock band Feeder, released as the second single from their 'Echo Park' album. It was released on 2 April 2001 and reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart the same month. CD1 of the single features "Just a Day", which was later released as a single.
Music video
The music video for the song features band members Grant Nicholas, Taka Hirose, and the late Jon Lee on a beach shot in Cape Town, South Africa, implementing various methods of reeling in some girls. Grant dresses up as a bike salesman, and gets the girls' passports in exchange for bicycles, Taka, a waiter in order to "demonstrate" his cooking skills, and Jon, in drag, possibly to show them his feminine side. However, it is only Taka that succeeds to impress. Nine years since the video was shot, Feeder released via their Facebook page previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage.
The Takas bass guitar from the video was later put on display at the Cardiff branch of the Hard Rock Cafe, until its closure in 2010.
