THE REVIEW I Selena Kan face it, fish look bored no matter of BY ROBERT COYNER NationaVState News Ediwr · WASHINGTON, D.C.-When Tricky's on, he has a vio lent intensity that's like the devil on ecstasy. But even though he was off Saturday at the 9:30 Club, he still put on a kick-ass show. After the weak opening acts of DJ Genaside II and Stroke, Tricky came out with a new band and new singer Kioka just before midnight. Opening under the dim blue and red lights with ''For Real," a mellow track from Tricky's his latest CD "Juxtapose," the show had a soft start. After the roughness of "Money Greedy," which he opened and closed with on his previous tours, the audience knew this show would be different. Following the calm start, he eventually slid the microphone over to Kioka, the new diva from his label Durban Poison, as she sang "Overcome." She replaced Martina, who has accompanied Tricky on his previous tours. While Kioka performed well, she could not compare to Martina's old soul vocals that gave density to even .' the thinnest songs. Much of this can be attributed to inexperience, since the THE REVIEW /Internet Photo show was only Kioka's second performance with Tricky on the "1984" isn't that far away.
