History

Birth of Steed Lord
The group was formed on Kali's birthday on February 8, 2006 when Demo gave Kali a housebeat as a birthday present. That beat became the bands first song "You" and a week later they wrote and recorded "Dirty Mutha" which made them an underground phenomenon. Since then Steed Lord has evolved into a musical art project.

April 2008 Car Accident
On April 9, 2008, Steed Lord was involved in a near fatal car accident en route to Keflavik International Airport, where they were about to tour Norway and Sweden. Their car had a head on collision with another car coming from the opposite direction on a narrow and icy road. Mega, Kali, Demo and their brother Ac and their father Egill, were all taken to the hospital and placed into the intensive care unit. Mega suffered life threatening internal injuries and had to undergo months of surgeries to recover; Kali had internal bleeding, broken ribs and some minor back injuries. Demo had to undergo surgery for internal bleeding. By the end of July 2008, though not entirely recovered from the accident, the band set out on their first proper tour of the USA and Canada.

Out of Iceland
In August 2009; MEGA, KALI, and DEMO decided to make the move from their homeland of Iceland to Los Angeles
