In an entirely expected turn of events, British socialite Peaches Geldof, 19, officially announced her divorce to Harvard alum and Chester French band member Max Drummey this past weekend. They were married for just over six months.

According to the Daily Mail, Peaches is currently “besotted” with Donald Cumming, frontman of the Virgins, a New York-based rock band.

You may remember that last October we interviewed both Max and fellow bandmate D.A. Wallach; at that time we asked Max how married life was treating him. He answered, “It’s nice. Thank you.”

Thank you, Max, for parting – willingly or not – with Peaches. Perhaps singlehood will give you more time to concentrate on your next album. Just don’t make it all emo and stuff, okay?

They’re smart, they’re talented, they look good in skinny jeans. They marry teen celebutantes, Pharrell thinks they’re hot, female fans want to have their babies, and they’re playing The Studio at Webster Hall tonight. Harvard rock duo Chester French is a perfect storm of “next big thing,” and gave us an interview before launching their firstworldwide tour. With Harvard correspondent Adam Estes asking the questions, D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey talk music, fashion, and spooge:

Max: We just look up to [Vampire Weekend] so much. I mean, those guys are our idols and to be mentioned in the same breath as them is just fucking—it feels so good. But slightly wrong. Like the first time you jerk off. Yeah, I guess being compared to Vampire Weekend feels like the first time jerking off.

Max: We’ve got a lot of semen to clean up.
D.A.: It’s everywhere.

Interview and more pictures after the jump.
