It’s 7:50 AM on a Friday, and Tragedy is on the move.

Nippertown's Mike Stampalia is at Patsy's Barber Shop in downtown Albany to interview William Yager, known exclusively by just about everybody in Albany as “Tragedy”. Though he already owns an established set of businesses (Patsy’s, The Bull and Bee: Meadery & Tasting Room, a couple of tattoo shops, and a laundromat), it is his latest venture that Mike is there to speak to him about. Tragedy has bought the Fuze Box, a nightclub that held court on lower Central Avenue for the last 20 years. Before its successful incarnation as the Fuze Box, it housed the legendary punk club the QE2 from 1986 to 1999.
🎈🎉Happy birthday, William Tragedy Yager! For those who don't know him, Tragedy owns multiple businesses - in Downtown alone, he has Patsy's Barber Shop, Albany Modern Body Art, and Lucky Cat Laundromat. More than merely an entrepreneur and barber, he is involved with many, many local charities and consistently gives back to the invests in community. When you see him, please join us in wishing Tragedy a very happy birthday.🎉🎈

With so many amazing barbers and barbershops in the area we are truly honored to be voted Best Barbershop for 2022 in the Times Union's 25th Anniversary Best Of The Capital Region! 💯 Thank you so much to all our amazing patrons who voted for us! 🙏

Below you can see the write up, from the Times Union online article:

BEST BARBERSHOP

Patsy’s Barber Shop
3 Howard St., Albany

To say that Patsy’s is a cut above, besides being a grimace-worthy cliche, would ignore the fact that its popularity, and those of the other Top 5 entries, rests atop a crowded field and a finite number of sideburns to trim. Congratulations, Patsy’s, for a victory that was not, er, a close shave. 💈✂️💈

We want to take a moment to give our profound thanks to everyone who helped and supported our efforts to obtain the liquor license for Fuze Box. Our Farm Meadery Branch Office Application was approved and Albany’s Counter Cultural Community Center will be opening for regular hours this week!

We received a great deal of support from the City of Albany, Albany County and our New York State political representatives. To which we are honored for their assistance in helping one of Albany’s iconic venues continue to operate and to thrive as we all continue to work towards normalcy.

We are still focused on working with New York State to improve the application process so that more New York State businesses can open their doors. It’s important that we all continue to advocate for, and openly communicate about, refining the process of applying for the various types of liquor licenses our great State provides.

We won’t rest, as there is work to still be done.

Once again, thank you all for your support and we look forward to the reopened Fuze Box as a safe place for all!

Love is the answer,
William ‘Trag’ Yager
