Well, without an off camera flash results will be limited at best. You certainly can take snapshots, but with a P&S your options are a bit limited. Do you have settings for priority settings?? Or is the camera full auto??

When I shoot bands in clubs and bars, I usually turn my ISO up to about 800, Shutter of 125 or 160 and my Ap as low as it can go. If you can hand hold longer than 125th go for it. I can't! lol

Most bands hate flash, so try not to use your flash. It's just better for them that way.
