Can I sue my former band?

I played in a band for 2 years. We got paid for many gigs but I never got a cent out of it. We played regularly 2-3 times per month. In this time I bought instruments, equipments, drove to practice and gigs, invested a lot of time and money. Our band leader got paid and never gave us anything at all, alwayskept all the money.

You might think I'm stupid for accepting it, but I just loved the music and being part of the band. 2 weeks ago I joined another band where I'm getting paid a fixed amount per month + extras for every gig we play. The leader of my former band was not happy about it and kicked me out of the band.

Now I'm thinking, would that even be possible, to claim the money I didn't get during all this time?

Yes, I'm angry for being kicked out and maybe just being petty, but now seeing how dumb I was all this time to end up being treated like nothing in the end just makes me even angrier
