Steed Lord is an Icelandic musical group known for energetic live performances. The group is made up of three members, Svala (currently known as Kali), Mega and Demo.

Before the group was formed, singer/songwriter Svala Björgvinsdóttir had become a household name in the Icelandic music scene, especially after releasing her 2001 album The Real Me. A year after she had stopped performing, she was given a house beat as a birthday present from friend, Eðvarð Egilsson and the beat evolved into the band's first song; "You". Svala took on the stage name Kali while Eðvarð took on the name Demo. Also joining the band was Eðvarð's brother who took up the name Mega. The band would then write and record their second song Dirty Mutha, a week after releasing You.

Steed Lord started performing all over Europe and North America. Starting in 2006, they played a few shows in their native Reykjavík, and within months they were being booked to perform all over the world. They have played in Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. During their tour of North America, they performed in concerts with artists such as Chromeo, Girl Talk, Vampire Weekend, Klever, and Does It Offend You, Yeah? in cities such as Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Toronto, and Chicago. In the fall of 2009, Steed Lord was asked to open for Peaches for a run of dates in Southern California which included shows at The Glass House in Pomona, Canes in San Diego, and The Wiltern in Los Angeles. Additionally, they have performed at festivals all over the world including Winter Music Conference in Miami, Electronic Betas Festival in Austria and South By Southwest in Austin, Texas.
