I am leaving in an hour (sheesh not enough time for advice) and I am going to photograph a few bands that are friends of mine.

Any advice for shooting in the dark at a colorfully lit stage?

The above threads should give you a few ideas. In general, use a fast lens and or a high ISO. Use flash only if it's necessary and ok with venue/band management.

Have fun!
