Have a look at this article from the Techniques Section (click on the word "this"). I think you have done quite well here. The black curtains in the background are a photographer's dream. It looks as if there was sufficient lighting, so you didn't need to use flash. Upping your ISO would give you a faster shutter speed (you had it quite high anyway), and that's what you needed here because, obviously, the band members will be moving all the time. A bit of motion blur on the hands is acceptable. You have a full-band straight-on shot and I would suggest being a bit more creative, taking shots from different angles. I think that if you concentrate on one member of the band, it is easier to press the shutter at a time when the head is fairly still, focus on the face and get that sharp. Trying to get all four together without some movement will be difficult. Use a large aperture to try to freeze the movement and to get more light. I am not an expert on this subject, but there are people on this site who are. Just go to the Photography Gallery and do a search for gigs, bands, etc.
