Turns out, Austin wasn't the only place to be this weekend. With plenty of spillover acts coming through to play Dallas on the way down I-35, Dallas was kind of a hot spot, too.

Two also-billed-for-ACL acts stopped through to the House of Blues this weekend--Matt & Kim on Friday night with some help from Fang Island and DFW's own Best Fwends, and The National on Saturday night with support from Owen Pallett. Some of us were in Austin, sure. But we made sure to send photographer Kevin Todora these shows' ways, too.

After the jump, some choice photos from Matt & Kim's show on Friday (see the full slideshow here) and from The National on Saturday (full slideshow here).
