Uma 2rman (AKA "Uma Turman" or "Ума Турман") is a Moscow-based band made up of the two brothers Sergei and Vladimir (or Vova) Kristovski. They have been active since 2003, releasing their first album "V Gorode N" in 2004. Additional musicians have been hired for concerts such as Alexei Ernst - keyboard, Sergey Solodkin - drums and Alexei Kozhakov - solo guitar. They were nominated in the 2004 Europe MTV Music Awards for Best Russian Group, along with t.A.T.u and Gorod 312 but lost out to Dima Bilan.
On the album "V Gorode N", the track "Nochnoi Dozor" featured as the theme tune to the original Russian cut of the film Nochnoi Dozor (Night Watch). In addition the track "Uma Turman" is a song about how Vladimir has fallen in love with the real Uma Thurman. In the song Uma complains about how Quentin Tarantino was drunk and that she had to reprimand him for his behaviour. Unfortunately, by the end of the song Vladimir is shunned by Uma but she thanks him for coming to visit regardless. The two never met in real life, until the Kill Bill 2 premiere in Moscow.
